Is there a know cure for the Harely tax?

Why does everyone insist that those of us who ride Sportsters will get something more expensive? I don't get it.

That's what you say now, come back in a year or two and tell us what you're riding then.

I love my Nightster but I do catch myself drouling over the soft tail Classic!

Just wait till you have to take it in for service or replace your tires.

Are you saying that those two things are worse on sporties than other bikes? Or just in general?

As a fairly recent Harley enthusiast (addict) I feel I should tell you it doesn't get any better (or cheaper). :53::newsmile017:

no cure... just the more you get the less you need. I am almost finished... umm.. I think...

Powder Coat the Rims Matte Black
Olive Drab Glossy Green paint job

Anyone know where I can get Harley Davidson tank emblems? Cool looking old school locomotive style metal lettering. I cannot stand the Sportster logo decal currently on my tank. Looks cheesy and Xtreme. Wait... thought I was done!

I think we all know the feeling. I have had mine for just over a year and I have done to much according to my wife. but I have put about $2500 into it since I have owned it and list isn't even half done. So good luck with you new adventure!

Because more often than not it's true.

I'm already eyeing the Heritage and Rocker C. (all in blue of course.)

I went from 79 Sporty to 05 Super Glide, then went to my 08 Nightster. The wife couldnt handle the 79 clutch so we sold it to my neighbor. Now that i got mine and she wants to ride with me but not on the back, so she rides a 2000 883. we are both happy, will be even more happy when the kid gets bigg enough to ride on the back of hers, as i plan on getting a solo springer seat.

You may never "outgrow" the sporties. I don't plan on ever getting anything else. Sure, I'll get a new bike some day, but it'll be another sportster. I love em!

Ride free and be safe!

This is hilarious - I just read your post asking everyone's opinion about you moving up to a Fat Bob!
