For those that have asked, yes I got my motorcycle endorsement last year. What do people consider to me a long ride, milage wise to be on a bike?

Man, are you asking the forum what kind of bike you like??????? Picking a Harley is so personal its like asking us to tell you what your favorite color is!

My advice to you is to look at all the bikes and let your instincts guide you....you will automatically migrate to a style of bike....when you find that style then you can fine tune a bit....for me I always migrated to the softails as opposed to the dyna's which I never liked as much....its such a personal choice.

Your right, I feel like a moron for asking but what I am trying to find out is why people chose the particular bike (what they like about it versus others) so I can get input as to things that I may overlook. I don't have any experience with Harley's and trying to cover some of the bases but no I can't cover them all.

Thanks
Shawn
