Man that's harsh. I ride an '03. Somehow I thought my 23 years of riding would be enough to keep from mistaken as a poser. Hell, but then again, except for a brief and dissapointing flirtation with a Fat Boy in the 90's, I've ridden nothing but Sportsters, so what do I know? After all, I ride girl's bike. /sarcasm
Do I at least get points for having a tiny sticker that reads, "If you see this bike on a trailer, call 911."?
Points are like chrome, but that sticker will get you Free beer in the right bars! :-)~
Yes. Yes, you do.
So have I, since the one I bought new in '68, and still have. I don't let the 74 snobs bother me. I just hand them a quarter and tell 'em to go weigh themselves.
