Default new rider, first bike, almost wasn't a Harley!

Went shopping for a bike last week, and went in completely open minded, sat on and tried out everything. Realized the sports bikes and any other lean-over-tank bikes weren't for me (sadly, since I thought that's what I wanted). But then my buddy said "quit kidding yourself and lets go to the harley dealer, sit on a cruiser". im 6'4" 265lbs so i was avoiding that big-guy on a harley image i guess. BUT, I guess he was right! comfort and looks wins the day! came home with an 06 Super Glide, took a pic below from the showroom. glad to be here, hope to learn lots! (starting with finding a good outdoor cover since sadly I would have to rent a garage, living in a city environment).
