Corvettes are small. Does that not make them real cars? LOL!

Also- one could argue (hey we are on the internet- !) that the the origins/ history of H-D was established on "smaller" bikes- minimalist bikes, like board trackers, flat trackers, Hill climbers, etc.

I love my 48. It is the essence of riding to me, and how I am wired- so keep on keeping on - Bro's!

people always have to put their two cents in... but none of them can every tell you what they ride or if they ride at all... heres something to go along with the "girls bike" comments

i was walking out of my neighborhood 7-11 and i saw 2 women admiring my bike... well come to find out it was just one of them admiring my bike and the other one was talkin trash... i ride a 2012 1200 custom... and she calls it a piece of ****.... the other lady asks why she would say that and the **** ****** said its too small... it needs for be AT LEAST a dyna... like a dyna wasnt good enough for her or something (mind you the admirer was an attractive woman... the **** talking one was fat and hairy) so after her dyna comment i had made it to my bike and had had enough... and decided to pull the @$$hole card out and i said yeah you'd need a bigger bike to haul your fat @$$ around... got on my lil bike and smiled at her all the way out of the parking lot ... the attractive admirer chuckled a lil bit

THE END

i hear this all the time at my shop "nice girl bike!" or "nice hardly davidson!"

none of them ride, they just think because its a smaller bike, its not a "real" harley.


whatever man, i love my bike. I'm 5'7, 160lbs and the bike is perfect for me. I dont even have the inclination to move up to a bigger bike.

there never seems to be a shortage of guys that want to talk down somebody's bike, and yet....they don't even have one!
