Never say Never.......

Well I always said I would never buy or own a Harley - one should never say never

Hmmm....I pick her up this week and cant wait.

An XLSportster.

No doubt I will be asking a lot of stoopid questions over the next few weeks (possibly months) so be easy on me you cruiser guys!

Why did I buy?

Well I been looking for a few months on and off but getting anything I can reach the ground on without making a lot of mods is a bit tough.

I am a slow sprots bike rider but seem to have recently received a few too many tickets on the roads.

As long as you're having good safe fun and you got a smile on your dial, who gives a raspberry?

You're accountable to no one for what makes you happy.

Post some pics soon though!

I used to say I'd never ride a sportsbike or own a Harley, yet here I am seriously looking at a Buell....

Good onya for giving it a go. Cruisers are just as much fun at slower speeds as sportbikes are at fast when you know how to use them.

Anyone with the ability to stand up and say "I was wrong" gets my vote.

Have fun and stay safe!

You know the rules, Ducky! Pics please!

And as for buying a Harley? I'd love a 1200 Sporty! Twin disc model of course!

That's great looking forward to seeing you out there. Not to mention going for rides with you.

what other's think so long as you are happy that is all that matters. and besides it's a pretty sexy bike to me.

If its got two wheels its a bike in my eyes, so good choice girl.

I see on this page http://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/har...r_low_2007.php they are saying the L version has a seat height of 711mm and they talk of "adjustable" so can you raise and lower the rider's seat? Even at 711mm I can see why you chose this.

What colour you getting?
