First Harley - Sportster - on a whim

I rode year round in NYC for a good percentage of my life. Had every kind of bike you could imagine...when I moved from NY to TN, I had 28 (yes, twenty eight) bikes. Came down here with 7 of them, and one by one reduced the number to zero. Then, the bug bit again. I decided that I was going to get one bike, and ONLY one bike, and after mulling it over for a bit, I decided it was going to be a Sportster. Picked up a low mileage 2004 883, and never looked back.
Why? Because it is the default motorcycle. The basic ride that has remained essentially the same for the last 60 years and will stay that way until probably after I'm dead. It does nothing particularly well...nothing particularly poorly. Makes no statements has no pretenses. I love the bike for what it is. There are days I want a 'Busa, days I want a Goldwing, days I want an old Beezer...but the common thread on those days is that just want to ride. The Sporty takes care of that well. Enjoy your bike!
