I consider bike size by the motor size. Some people think of weight for the size and others go by how much fiberglass/plastic is on the bike.

Other Person> "No, I'm talking about the really big Harley. What is that one?"

Me> "Well, I think you are talking about the Ultra. The Street Glide is basically the same bike, but without a trunk and chrome."

Other Person> "No, the Harley I'm thinking about is a lot bigger than yours, do you know which one I'm talking about?"

Me> "Oh yes, now I understand the one you are talking about, that is the Ultra. I guess you are right, that is the really big Harley"

I've had several of those conversations. I've learned that it is easier to admit that I have a Street Glide, the "small" Harley. Sheesh!

p.s. I also learned if you use tour pack instead of a trunk, the conversation will go another 10 minutes.
The problem when dealing with stupid people is that if you actually tell them they are stupid, they suddenly get an attitude and are hard to deal with. It is best to just kill them and bury the evidence.

Fact
Ultra = 852lbs
Classic = 827lbs
Rd King = 783lbs
EG = 774lbs
SG = 773lbs

773lbs = girl bike! Oh CRAP! I got a girls bike! Someone just kill me now.... J/K

Can't believe they never Herd of a Sheep Glide. It's what all the kids are ridding now days.

RoadGliders never have this problem.
Person- "what kind of Harley is that?"
Me- Road Glide
Person- "That is sweet, I bet it rides real good to"
Me - Bahhhter than the rest.
