OMG I bought one...

Ok, I did it... I bought a Harley.

Go ahead, laugh, I can take it...

Sportster 883 Superlow, in 'Cool Pearl Blue' coz I couldn't get any other
colour. Sheesh. I suppose it won't show dust the way that black does.

Hoping to pick it up Monday. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

betty
PS - her name is Piglet
PPS - how come this bike's a girl? I don't know...

 

'Cos Eeyore is a stupid name for a bike?

 

Oh dear oh dear.
Next it'll be tats, tee shirts, bandanas and a bad attitude.

Well Done
Capt A.L.

 

Bloody bewdy bottler, Betty...

Will we be seeing it up here in the mountains soon?

Could do - I hope it won't take long to get used to all the thigs that make
it differet from the SV....

Hi betty.

I wish you much joy of your new bike.

Well, you've got one, and you are of the female persuasion.

Actually, it's a law here in Oz, that if there are two engine options
for pretty well the same bike, blokes MUST have the bigger engine, and
the smaller engine is girlie. ;-)

regards,
CrazyCam

 

He's right...

Ozstralia is the only place in the world where a DL650 WeeStrom with
crash bars, driving lights, bash plate and off road tyres chunky enough
to rip holes in the road is a girly bike!


G-S

 

Congrats may you have much fun!

Nah... I actually like sporties.

Well ok.. pearl blue is a bit girly

Pictures when you can please.

Piglet is a girl?


G-S

 

Well, in that case, weather permitting (mine's strictly a fair weather
cruiser and so am I) we could go for a wee cruise, or you might even
pick up an escort (the non-sleazy meaning of the word used here) all
the way up the Putty road on your way to your basket weaving retreat
[deem evil grin included], depending on what your plans are.

[Imagines Betty riding up the Putty road with the entire entourage of
Sydney Ozmotians following, like a comet and its tail; lunch at
Wollombi; trading banter with Pisshead Pete, et al; and then everyone
heading home in different directions.]

Just thinkin'...

Saw an 883 Sportster advertised locally, vendor said
it was "perfect for wife or girlfriend" thus alienating aprox. 50 % of
the prospective buyers.

Anchovy.

 

lol.
I kicked my leg over one the same weekend you did.
There is something about them. Looking forward to your reviews in the
very near future.

Throw the parts in a fire so they rust and look old unless they are made
of plastic now!

Congratulations Betty aka Miss Piggy. ;-)

I was told things were given female names (before we became politically
correct) due to the unpredictable danger of them. I was also told the
new HD's were more reliable than the older ones.

 

Geez... there wouldn't be much left of my Hyosung...

A Sporty has always been known as a girlie bike

 

Well there we have it.

Straight from the horse's arse^H^H^H^Hmouth...

Not a silly idea at all - to paraphrase Lennon, life is what happens when
your not at the keyboard.

Hope you like the little hog Betty - a H-D is definitely one of the rights
of passage - always thought the 883 would make a good commuter as well 'cos
they are skinny for lane splitting.

Go well you.

 

Reminds me of the time when I had ordered my Street Triple, and was
waiting, desperately, for it to arrive.

I had joined onto a pommie Street Triple forum, and some one asked
something about names and gender attached to people's motorcycles.

I posted a comment that, well, obviously, given how long it took for it
to come, mine must be female.

I got censored about that, and got a severe warning about posting in
"dubious" taste. <shrug>

regards,
CrazyCam

 

Gawd; I would've *applauded* that sort of wit!

(all the more reason to hate Poms!)

 

You are only jealous Gerry, because you are much too girly even for a Sporty

 

And what an odd reply from someone who has been talking nothing but
horseshit for years

 

Which of course brings to mind how the Red Sea was named.
Apparently due to the periodic visits of Queen Sheba I'm told.
