I just want to say that if you've never ridden an H-D Sportster, you're
missing one of life's great pleasures.

Earlier this year I got a chance to ride a 2003 Sportster. First time I'd ever ridden a Harley. About a mile later I was so happy to return it to its rightful owner. The only bike that I've ridden that had worse handling than that sportster was a used bike I took for a test ride which had about 10 lbs of pressure in the tires.


Aside from not handling, having little power, and the worlds clunkiest transmission, it was also the most uncomfortable bike I've ever ridden. All that for more money than my three other bikes plus my quad put together. They don't know how to build a good bike, but they sure know how to market a crappy one.
