I bought my first harley in new bern 1998. Lots to do lots of bars bikes strippers in Jacksonville. (marine corps base) Head down to mirtyle beach for bike weak in South carolina HUGE party. there are a few good hands / mechanics in Jacksonville whole lot less than new bern HD. Alot of beach fun in the sun but expect frequent showers.

Good points, but I would believe it has to be cheaper than up here in NY. I will look int that.

J' actionville is a quick run just South of New Bern. I can't tell you much more than that other than there is a local stealer there and decent weather where you can almost ride all year long depending on how hard and/or equipped you are.

There are quite a few indy's in and around Jacksonville.
