  Hi

  I am looking for any subjective opinions here. 

  
  

  After I had my Dyna Wide Glide, I don't know how to deal with my sexy Iron 883 now. My options is:

  1. sell it get some cash

  2. upgrade it to 1200cc, stage 3 or 4 to experience what people on the internet said "run like a raped ape" 

  3. save up little more and trade for another big twin, with different characters than my wide glide. fat bob maybe? or softail? 

  
  

  obviously the option 1 is the most boring one. I am married, wife controls all the money. 

  How do you compare option 2 or 3?

  Options aye, if you go 1200 do it once, do it right, 1250 ;)

  Dunno what you would get for it as is, nice looking bike an all but the market ain't great for 883's, you would need to loosen the purse strings a bit for a half decent big twin.

  I would ask  one of the blokes on the chook chasers if they want to swap bikes. 

  Thats  my opinion

  That's fairly obvious beagle, I genuinely laughed out loud as well, classic.

  I've read a lot of Dale Carnegie. Way ahead of his time. Have a gander at How to stop worrying and start living. Helped me through a dark period of my life. A bit corny but at the heart of things so true.

  Option 3 all day

  Why spend bucks you’ll never get back upgrading a bike you’re clearly not that happy with.

  No matter how much money you throw at it it’s still going to be an 883 entry level harley when it’s time to sell.
  

  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not hating on sporties, I’ve owned 4 of em, but it is what it is.
