I laughed to myself reading the title and the content of this thread. I personally don't care what other people think, but to me, Sportsters are the true Harleys.

Storytime: Not too long ago I came across a murdered sporty that looked mean even when parked. Its license plate cover read "Your Mom". At the time it just sounded cool but this thread sparked a thought on how that murdered sporty owner could reply to the "that's a girls bike!".

What I imagine he would say- You're damn right its a girl bike, [pointing to the Your Mom plate] I ride Your Mom till the sun comes up!
I'm glad you signed up!

Today I was at a birthday celebration with some fancy people. I was talking to a lady who is in her 70s when we heard a guy on a Nightster parking his bike outside. The lady, out of the blue said "I wish I had a gun to shoot him." I turned around and asked her "why would you say that?". She replied "This guy pretends he has a Harley. He just rides around the neighborhood and makes so much noise...he doesn't even have a real bike and he does not work." I was fraking overwhelmed by what she said. A friend of mine told me "Maybe you should not mention that you have a bike." So I told the lady "he is actually riding a Harley." To what she said "yes but it's a small one, not a real Harley like the big ones." I was laughing inside me and told her "of course this is a Harley" and she interrupted and asked "why do you have one?". I said "Yes I do, the exact same one." And she turned away.

I was not going to explain to her the difference between the Nightster my 02.
Voony I've learned from experience before I start talking with people I need to determine whether I am casting my pearls before swine....in other words the audience determines the manner in which I speak and what I speak about..she's old and what the hell does she even know about it....save if for someone that actually knows what they are talking about.....

Fancy party,
nicely dressed people speaking in hushed tones,
the clinking of ice in peoples drinks,
her wearing her pretty pink dress, hair done at the salon,
chauffeured limousine waiting outside.........
Yeah, you should have kicked her in the puss.
Then loudly proclaim "This shall not stand Madam, I will not hear disparaging remarks concerning the great American Sportster"!
