Sharing riding resumes now? Is this an interview? What make you think someone would want you covering their back? The bikes you've rode? Interesting thought processes.

yea, I get asked to justify my right to post on this forum an awful lot. I don't think I've ever accused someone of not having a HD or a bike at all, or asked them to outline their riding experience because I disagree with them..
I DON'T think that's what's happening in this thread, but it's happened a few times in others.

thanks for butting in.
btw, someone who'd consider me a "brother" would absolutely want me covering his back.

the bike history often tells alot.
like the difference between someone who loves to ride and someone who just has to own a harley as status symbol.

Well, in my circle, having a HD is NOT a status symbol, I can assure you!
I get more crap for not riding a more modern bike....
I wanted an american bike, and Victory didn't have anything that I could afford. And I really like the looks of the Iron. I'm pretty happy with it. Pretty mad that my front wheel bearings just failed though, not happy about that AT ALL.

Also, if I had to do daily city commute, I'd be riding a Sporty or a Buell as well.

For real, I can now afford a "bigger bike," but have not bought one yet because:
a- my sporty is paid for
b- I can't really see commuting daily on a dyna or Victory Kingpin.
c- My personal philosophy is to not buy many things. I get the best I can afford (in 2009 it WAS an iron 883) and I use it until it falls apart.

don't buy into that "bigger is an upgrade" or Sportsters are "girls" bikes.
or what I ride
If I did, I would be on a Ducati Monster, not a harley davidson sportster...
haha
But yea, I feel no need to "upgrade" at this point.
Maybe when I'm north of 40 I'll want more suspension and the ability to stretch out, but right now I'm enjoying the **** out of my PAID FOR 2009 sporty.
