Hey everyone, I do not currently have a Harley or any bike for that matter. I joined up so I could learn a bit about the HD's as my wife and I are planning on picking up a new one somewhere around August.

I have been riding motorcycles since I was 14, although they have always been Sportbikes; my last was an '02 R1. I have a daughter now and want to slow it down a bit and still enjoy a bike, so my wife agreed to a Harley. Any tips or suggestions you guys have are certainly welcome.

 

Test ride all and get the one that suits you and the wife. Welcome from New Mexico!

Thanks for the welcomes guys.

We went to our local Harley dealer and the two bikes I found interesting were the Super Glide and the Wide Glide. Admittedly I will have to overcome the change of moving from sport bikes to the cruisers, they are a good deal heavier and the riding style is very different. The Super and Wide felt the most comfortable to me but I will definitely be outside my comfort zone for awhile.

Welcome and as my New Mexico neighbor advised try a few, think about what kind of riding you will be doing and make a choice based on that. Good luck
