If I only take the title of this thread at face value and disregarded all the content within it, I'm going to say yes!

My piece of mind since I picked up this last Sporty has definitely been better. I have felt better mentally. My blood pressure has dropped from the obscene levels it was at. I'm less stressed and my temperament has somewhat improved.

When riding by myself I let everything else go blank. Nothing else seems to matter.

I'm still far from the picture of health, but if asked, I'd say my lifestyle as changed.

I'm not so sure I could say the same thing with my 2 other Sportsters. Those were different times with much different circumstances.

69 pages and counting!

The OP is long gone, the horse has been beaten clean through, enough already.

Life story....blah, blah, blah, I ride a lot, blah blah, blah......

So when I go into the HD dealer and pop cash for a CVO Road Glide some **** ant looser who can't successful handle his financial life has absolutely no standing to judge me in any way that I don't fit his idea what a biker should be.

Are you reading this OP?

Am I a biker? I don't know. I am a passionate motorcycle enthusiast, I and I only work on my bikes. A dealer never sees them. I read about bikes. I look at bikes. And most of all I ride them at every opportunity that I can.

Have I been on drugs-no. Have I been in jail-no. But I have arrested drug dealers and put them in jail. Does that count?

If being a criminal makes one a biker or being poor then I never want to be a biker.
So you spent a few minutes reading the OP's post and then made a judgement about him? Hypocrite.

Like your bike, looks like a '96 ? I am the same way.. I do it for the mental health as well. Clears my head.

That seems to be a big problem in America today... It's all about the visual...Presentation is the key.

Sprtster1200 -- You'r right but I'm damn good at it! And while were at it, I'm always right also. So, if you reread his post you will see that my conclusions were based on factual statements the OP made and not assumptions as his interpretations of what he saw at the dealership were. There is a difference between the two. But you missed it.

Mine is an '07.

Nothing does my mood better than a ride.
