So, the way I see it and the only thing you've shown, is that you have a bigger gas tank.

I bow to your greatness.
Now, now don't be all butthurt.....I'm only 2 years ahead of you in the age bracket and I don't need to prove anything......

Did you see this?


Been fun Rog, thanks for being a good "Sporty".

It takes very little skill and effort to do 2000 miles in a week on a touring rig. It takes dedication to do it on a Sportster. I just did that in April.

A buddy of mine did 6600 miles in 6 days on his Sporty. Like I said, anyone can do it on a rolling couch. Very few of us can tour on a Sporty. Read this forum and you'll see how dedicated Sportster owners are.

2000 in a week, kind of light isn't it? Must include beer stops.

It was a leisurely ride. My Sporty did it easily.

You read and post in the Queen's forum? I don't think I'd openly admit that. But whatever floats your boat. lol

Man they finally got me and I can't take the abuse. I'm going right down to the dealership and trading my sportster in for a huge plastic turd.

Update: can't afford it, just gonna sit here and be mad that I am less of a person cause I didn't buy a bt.

The irony is that you guys waste your time coming to the sportster section.... I've never been in any other section on the forum outside if Dyna and sportster cause frankly they don't interest me.

Are you a closet sportster fan? Hmmmm...... Maybe a closet female too? Do you dress up all Purdy in a little red dress and make motorcycle sounds, imagining of owning the bike you secretly desire?

Just buy the bike it's cheaper than the psychologist!
