To me the Nghster was very torquey, but not the kind of torque that comes out of nowhere/gets you in trouble. Very smooth linear power delivery. I didn't ride an 883 so I can't comment, but my main gripe with the ergos on the Nightster was that the air cleaner sticks way out and basically is where where your right calf should be. Just intensifies the (IMO) slightly cramped ergos.

I can honestly say that after riding a Softail, I decided I would never own a Sportster. The saying goes something like "Sportsters you sit on, Softails you sit in". Perfect way to describe it.

Police: Woman Slapped By Motorcyclist At Intersection

FAIRFAX, Va. (WUSA) -- Police say that a Fairfax area woman reported that a motorcyclist slapped her in the face at an intersection on Friday.

The 59-year-old woman was stopped at the Lee Highway - Main Street intersection on Friday afternoon when she says a man got off his motorcycle, walked up to her car, cursed and her and then struck her in the face. He then left, heading east on Main Street.

She did not require any medical treatment, say police.

Police did not say what may have prompted the assault.
she probably almost killed him.
twice.

twice.
Was driving in my truck last nite on the way to pick up my daughter after work and got cutoff by a younger lady in a Neon probably 3 or 4 times. Finally sped up to pass her in a different lane and when I looked in to her car, she was holding up TWO cell phones and attempting to text.

WTF?

When I see that bike all I can think about is Adam West's Batman.
