Default Looking at a Nightster

I was on the way home yesterday and stopped in the local harley shop and sat on a nightster.&nbsp\\; I been talking with the salesman there and hopefully we can get some things worked out.&nbsp\\; It will be my first harley and not my first bike.&nbsp\\; I am in a situation that I need to get rid of current bike so we will just have to see how things go.&nbsp\\; I will keep everyone informed on how things are going.&nbsp\\;

Was looking at a nightster with my son today. great looking bike. with a 9700$ price tag its probably not your smartest first bike, was what I told my son who was salivating at the time. Literally he has never ridden a motorcycle. I am steering him towards a solid 3-3500$ sportster.

A friend of mine has an '08 and looks good. He also did the stage one and sounds excellent. He let me ride it and it is a blast!
