Default New Member Hello, and 1st Question

Hello, I am looking at getting a new Harley in the next few weeks. I do not have a bike now, but have had bikes off and on for years. I am in Gardendale, AL (about 10 miles north of Birmingham).

1st Question: I am currently looking at a Nightster and a Dyna Street Bob. I am about 5'9 and 225lbs. I like the look of the nightster, but also like the fact you get the 96 cu inch motor on the street bob and 6 speed. I have read a few reviews on the Street Bob about some people having trouble with it pulling to one side, it seems you either love it or hate it. I was just wanting to get your thoughts and opinions on these two bikes and what you think I would be most happy with. I am single and don't really plan on going on any long distance trips. I just want something to cruise to work on and ride when I'm off. Thanks

Welcome from Tucson, AZ. Sorry, I'm no help either. Which Harley to buy, what a great problem to have though.
