Default Taking the plunge tomorrow

So, credit approved sweet interest rate and off tomorrow going in to take the plunge. Im a worrier been researching all types of bikes for weeks comparing prices and performance etc. I always wanted a HD but I grew up riding 1000cc sport bikes, being 45 with back issues that is no longer an option. I loved the denim red street bob I saw always like bobbers but also like a softail slim I saw because of the larger fuel tank and running boards on it the previous does not have. I would like to take a couple long trips to the black hills or west coast a couple times on the bike but its going to mostly a commuter and weekend 4hr ride type of deal. I am a teacher so during the summer I have all the time off in the world to ride this bike, any tips would be helpful.

I don't know much about it, but when I saw it in the showroom, this looked like a nice commuter/touring bike.

Welcome to the Forum from Colorado!
My best advice is to test ride the ones that interest you and get the one that speaks to you loudest!
