I just sold my 500 Buell Blast, and bought a 1200 Sportster custom, big difference in power but I LOVE IT! and who ever it was that said a sportster is a "girls bike" i dont agree- only reason i bought it was b/c of the price- otherwise I would own a softail! I am a female and dont think there is "guys" or "girls" bikes as long as you can ride and control the bike ;-)
I always think that is funny, because the sport is so much faster than the big twins. I mean yours is clearly a girls bike because you are a girl....but to call a sport a girls bike because of size is crazy.

As promised, here's a pic of my $6300 sporty 1200! only 2400 miles er actually there's about 2800 now. I removed the Sissy bar and I plan on adding drag bars, grips, pegs and a detachable sissy bar. She's a little dirty as I got caught in a shower or two on my way to Cape Cod last weekend.

Happy bike day! Tomorrow is looking like a bust (although I can always hope) but sunday and next week should all be gorgeous riding. Be careful with the masshole crazies! They really are trying to kill you, I promise.

Thanks! Am I seeing things or is this really another rider from Boston? I can't seem to find people to ride with, although my schedule only permits saturdays and Sundays after 4 pm. None of my buds have bikes.

Let me know if you gather up with some other riders on a weekend, I'd love to join in on the fun

Indeed I am - well more camberville really. There are a number of MA riders on this board though. We should get organized or something.
