Default soon to be a new rider

Hello all

Well the wife and i were discussing what married people discuss. My 40th birthday came up and i asked (more like begged) for a Street Bob. She says "HMMMMM, save your money" So, i have always like the old school look of well, my avatar. I have never ridden street. Always dirt/4 wheelers. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated in what to look out for, peak and off peak times to ride for a beginner.
