I have a 2006 XL 883 and love this bike. It is my first bike I ever owned and I love it. I am sick of people saying you should have got a bigger bike!! Why should I? I like it. It is still a Harley and it has enough power for me and when I haul my wife.

The funny thing is, I don't get this from other Harley riders. They have even complimented me on my bike. It's the one's who don't ride Harley's. Sorry, just venting and sick the crap lol. I am proud of my Harley and that is good enough for me and my wife.

When I am ready to upgrade to a bigger bike I will.

Anyone else get this from people. Just curious is all.

Ride safe!!

 

Never had this happen to me. Usually, I get some positive **** everytime I ride out.

 

No, I rarely get anyone willing to speak to me. Then again, I don't own a Sportster.

 

F@CK what anyone else has to say! you didnt buy your bike for them, you bought it for you... just smile and tell them to have a blessed day, most the time that will just confuse them... especially coming from me

 

A few times until I blew there minds & bought a 15 y.o. bagger. Older than dirt....Easy to fix, OL had a say!

 

I do just blow them off. It's not when I am out riding it's like people at work and ****.

 

Yep. I have a SuperLow. Before I purchased it, a few Harley people told me to buy a bigger bike and that I would not be able to keep up. Well, I LOVE my bike. I do not plan on buying another Harley. This is it. My plan was to ride it as an 883 then get it punched out to a 1200. After I am too old to hold up the bike I will make it a Trike. Well I am on stage II. I just had it punched out to a 1200. I digress. Ride what you want. A bigger bike does not translate to the best bike for you. Tell them when they get a bike come back to see you otherwise...shut the F@ck up!

 

That is my plan eventually.

 

Sportsters RULE!

 

...mostly.
