If they put you down for riding a sporty you are riding with the wrong people. Just make sure if you have one with a small tank fill up when you can. It's a pain for everyone if you run out. If you are the only one who needs fuel and the rest are stopping for something else. Fill up first then meet back with the others. That way when it's time to leave they are not waiting for you. My first Harley was a sporty but had the 5gallon tank so I could go as far as the bigger bikes. I loved it but was too heavy for it.

why do sportster owners have to ask this ? who gives a fuck what your riding fark my Harleys don't get upset due to being in my shed next to my jap dirtbikes or china chopper but face it they will always be called a girls bike lol

Pay no attention to people who put shit on your ride, if you like your ride thats all that matters, it's not a dick swinging competition so just ignore the dicks.

they will only look down on you if there taller than you are , there are dickheads around everywhere you look somedays , Sportster's have a good history background since 1952, they only ever roadraced sportsters , not big girls bike 's as there too slow & fat to go around corner's , raced only in a straight line , real racers go left & right

If HD had of installed a 6 speed gearbox on a 1200 sportster i'd have one now. Imo the 72 sporty 1200 is cool as a kat.

Nothing wrong with Sportys I owned five of them myself just have a look on the net most guys who build cool looking bobbers use Sportsters also look how many 1%ers ride Sportys as well no one goes up to them and says they are riding a girls bike so don't let it worry you if it is you may be riding the wrong brand of bike just enjoy the ride.

This is Australia, if you drive a holden the ford guys will hang it onya, If you drive a Toyota the Patrol guys will heap shit onya, Subaru vs Mazda, footy teams or whatever and vice versa. I hang it on my mate cos he rides a Twincam and my other mate that rides a Dyna. Stop worrying, start riding. Sportys are cool. Would I own one? YEP

I think your right busta, not many here will get your post. I think most of HG's post can go in the troll basket.

Troll? Misunderstood? or maybe just excited about his new toy. either way I think he may have spat the dummy. Hawaiian Dude has now got 0 posts. maybe he doesn't get that ozzies give each other shit. He asked if people would look down on him and he found the answer.
