Hi All,

I need some advise. I have a 2013 883 Iron with about 3,000km on it. My local stealership offered to buy it back on the basis that I buy a 2013 Street Glide with a new helmet, backrest and new HD jacket. They will settle my outstanding balance on the Iron.

Some background: I'm the Road Captain for our local HOG chapter, riding a sporty with 80% of the riders having bigger bikes than me.

You advice?

 

Hi Scorpza, great pic of you and your son. Very cool. Here's my advice: Let the bike choose it's rider. Don't be in a big rush to upgrade just because you're on the smallest bike of the pack. IMHO that is a sick looking Iron, diggin' the all blacked-out look. Enjoy your ride. Test ride a bunch of other bikes. Swap bikes with your mates for short rides. Then let the right bike adopt you.

I'm on my 7th motorcycle since my Honda Twinstar 185cc Now I'm on a Road King Classic 1600 and it's an absolute dream. But that's because my wife and I ride everywhere 2-up, and we make loooooong road trips all over the US. My previous bike when I was single was a Cross Bones that kicked serious ***, but it was my dream bike back then, not now. Things change.

Enjoy that sweet Iron. Looks really good. Don't rush. Enjoy the ride! You have a lifetime to upgrade, so take your time and enjoy it. Don't get caught up in the dick measuring when everyone fires up their rides!

 

Theyre all jealous. A bigger bike isnt an upgrade...............its just a bigger bike.

 

Wow, Rog48, that is legit! Slick ride, man. Well done.

 

Beautiful bike my friend you have there ( the pic )
what kind of pipes are those ? SIkpipes ?
and as to the thread question . enjoy your bike its still too new i love my iron 883 wouldnt change it with anything right now i might just keep it forever for when i have a kid and pass it down to them . the bike is a dream . Ride safe man.

 

Thanks yeah sikpipes

 

Why should you get a new bike if them road sofas cant keep up with you? Maybe they need to upgrade. Just cuz it costs more means one thing, it just costs more.

 

how do you like them ?

 

Thank guys for the solid advice. Think I'm going to hang onto my Iron and get myself a couch later as a second bike
