That's what people tend to call them. They need to regain their dignity somehow after they get spanked at the stoplight.

Reminds me of the guy with a ratty, ratty, old Pontiac Grand Am who called my Porsche 944 a "fake" Porsche. Yeah, that hurts buddy.
Now on the "Sporty spanked at the stoplight" comment above. First, the original guy that made the comment didn't ride. Second, I hear this all the time from you sporty guys. A Sporty and a V-Twin in a Dyna or most Softails is equal in performance. You can search through some of the old posts for the numbers, but both a Sporty, a Dyna and the lighter softails are mid to low 13 second quarter mile bikes. You should have plenty of time to look up the old posts since apparently the Sporty will get you home much quicker than anyone else...

Boy, it doesn't take much to get them going does it? My posts were meant to be funny. Don't get all defensive about the bike you ride. Think about all our V-rod members (all three of them) that catch hell here all the time for riding a "water cooled" Harley.

Exactly, what does that mean? "Looks like a woman designed it"???? Esplain yerself, pls!

I agree the Deluxe seems to be the "women's bike" of today. It looks like a woman designed it. It does seem that you mostly see women riding Deluxes.

It seems like the Deluxe is now the choice of women riders. That would make the Deluxe a "women's" bike I guess. Just wanted to set the record straight

I am soooo sick of hearing this, even from other Harley riders; who ironically had Sportsters themselves. What is even worse is from people who never even rode a bike to begin with. I was recently at a Christmas party at my local Harley dealership(Privateers Harley-Davidson in Halifax NS) enjoying a few beverages when a guy there asked me what I ride. I told him I had an 06 1200c with a windshield, back rest,se 2 pipes etc,etc. He told me to stop wasting $ on accessories and start saving my $ for a "real bike". THIS DUMB-*** told me he had an 02 SE Wide-Glide with 5000 kms (3000 miles) on it. Whip-dedo-effin-ding-dong!! I congratulated him on owning a $25 000 LAWN ORNAMENT, it's too bad that he spent most of his money on his bike and insurance and can't afford to go anywhere. I put 16000 kms (10000 miles) on my bike this season he may have put on 1000kms. I think he only uses his to go to "the GAY PRIDE parades"......what an IDIOT!!! Sorry I seem so upset , but, this really gets my blood BOILING....kick your brother's ***!! Do it for me,and the 10-s of thousands of Sportster riders standing right behind you brother.

Many, many of the attendees (there were about 500 people at the party) couldn't believe I rode my bike to the party!!! I said, WTF???!!!! Why didn't you ride your bike. Then when they found out I rode a Sportster, they were really amazed. When a guy said "since you ride so much, you should get a bike more suited for travel." My response, "well since you just park your bike in the garage all the time, do you want to trade with me?" hehe.

HE ASKED ME WHY I SPENT THAT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON A BIKE THAT SMALL,SAID I COULDN'T TAKE A LONG TRIP ON IT ,IT WAS TOO SMALL. I TOLD HIM AT LEAST I USE IT,UNLIKE OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW,(HIM) WHO GO BUY A BASS BOAT AND LEAVE IT COVERED UP IN THE BACK YARD FOR TWO YEARS! RIDE WHAT YOU WANT TOO, I'LL PUT THE 883C UP AGAINST ANY OF THEM!

RE: .... girl bike !!!!
I don't own a Sportster, but the other day I was at the dealers and a guy was looking at some bikes when I heard him tell the dealer, "I wouldn't let my wife ride no sportster" and I laughed. I do not know why I did. Maybe from the bubbles from my Dr. Pepper that went up my nose did it. But my wife shot me this look like how dare you!, "he's right. The sportster is not a woman's bike. The softail is."
What I am saying is, a lot of people dis the Sportster. I personally want one with the chopper front end on it. (8-14" rake) But the sportster is NOT a woman's bike!

RE: .... girl bike !!!!
We've bashed this subject to death...and, once again, it still raises it's ugly head. Why .... Will somebody tell me PLEASE ... WHY do we have to classify Harley Davidsons? ... Bikes for girls, old farts, radicals, hippie types, young guys, soft butts, hard butts ...etc. etc. etc...when in fact, it's all a matter of personal preference. NOT gender or toughness. That's like saying the colour blue is only for baby boys.
Everybody has an opinion, granted. What ever happened to appreciating a Harley for what it is....A pleasure to look at, listen to and better yet ... just ride!
Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. Just enjoy the ride!
