Default my first harley
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that belongs to this forum. I've been looking at harleys for a while and originally wanted a 48 sportster, then a blackline, then a fat boy lo and finally I've made my decision to go with a 2012 Softail Deluxe. I pick it up in the morning. Thankfully this forum pointed me in the right direction and I think I'll be content for a longtime with the deluxe. Im stoked. its going to be hard to sleep tonight... Thanks again you guys saved me a lot of time and probably a lot of money seeing how I'm getting the bike a really want the first time around.

Dillinger, congrats on the new bike and welcome to the forum. I don't think you will be disappointed at all with your choice of the Deluxe.

The Deluxe has really grown on me. If I was buying a bike right now, I think it would be a Luxe.
