Seems like @la szum is trying to get me to be more social and not become too much of a shut in.
He may succeed in pulling me out into the public...watch out people!!!!
If it happens---- then it will be all my fault.

We met at my house this morning. I didn't go. 
Roads even up this way are chock full of
people buzzing to and fro, and that is not my idea of a good time. I want to enjoy myself. Be able
to relax a little. Also, where the other folks had decided to go would be a nice ride, but the
spot is a one way in and one way out thing. It'll be nuts! I don't like nuts unless it is coming
from me. So I stayed home, and they called me all kinds of names for not going.
All in good fun! Not actually friends if you can't handle a playful jab/insult now and again.

I think next spring i will get a sportster 1200. I like the sportster for its size, but mine is the 883, not enough power, plus it gave me a lot of trouble. Also my superglide is 20s years old. I just couldn't afford to do it this year. Its served me well but i feel like i need something smaller.

Yeah labor day weekend is the worst....in the past I was occupied and didn't ride them....so that was nice.Also, wives. Nothing against them. Just every one else with a bike was going 2 up except me.
Plus, that is a recipe for stopping every 45 minutes for pee breaks ....and that sucks.
Don't beat yourself up.....I'm sure they understand.

I say dump them both (883 and SuperGlide) and get you a sweet 1200! I have two (2000 FLSTS and 2003 FXSTDSEI) and if I was in good riding country, I would likely sell them both and get me a CVO Road Glide or a Goldwing, but that is just me ;~))

Thats what im thinking. Something newer, less miles on it. There's probably not a big weight difference, but the sportster feel more comfortable to me. A guy i know said my superglide was lowered, the height is ok. But it feels fatter if that's the right word for it.

Yup. True.
We're all friends of 20 years or so, so they know me and I know them. We're good!
I think I needed a full day at home with minimal movement anyways.

My dad pretty much said the same to me when I wanted a 1200.I look like a Gorilla on a minibike on a Sportster.
I will get something smaller and lighter and more nimble someday, though.
But he said gorilla f#$king a football.
I had a Duece that was very flashy and loud for a minute, that was fun.... until you have to pay to get it repeatedly repaired....every year.
Had a 1984 softail that was far more reliable......
If I had it to do now ....BMW. all day. Period.

I get it, but never again....not this guy.
I enjoy all motorcycles, and encourage all enthusiasts.
I was born on a Harley-Davidson, but I just can't support them anymore....too many friends that were mechanics for them ...and I know too much. I also am a broke mo fo, and learned my lessons the hard way....from now on......gold wing, any future space cushy bagger ...yep.

It's the same everywhere these days, sadly. Everything has gone downhill.
Don't get me wrong, I love many Harley-Davidson motorcycles, just not any in the past 25 years.
I once wanted one of each.....but now ... I'd take a nice pan or knuckle.....just to start and piddle on for 30 miles......those are choice!!!! Big ol banana seat with a massive pylon.
Like this!!!
