well just updating this 2yr old thread (lol)

life happened and put everything on hold so i was unable to get a bike. now, opportunity has happened where i can get a bike. i used the time in between to learn a bit more, and educate myself somewhat better. (a little not a lot) on purchasing a bike, etc. Looks like my first bike is going to be either a Dyna or Softail.

I'm a bigger dude, and after talking with many people, searching, and sitting on bikes. I think I will enjoy myself on a bigger Dyna or Softail model.

Regardless, I plan on taking the advice and tips you all provided in this thread even though i'm not getting a Sportster.

thanks again,

John

 

Always get the bigger motor. At your size for sure. We got rid of the wife's 883 and got her a 1200. Night and day.

 

Ya go big or go home
