Default RE: hello & model decision

I have to agree with what Mark and Stones has said in their replys. Go and rent some of the Harleys that you might like to ride and go from there. I've seen the Buells and the V-Rods but I also have an older back and I don't know if I would like one of them, but the decision will be up to you. Test drive them, that's one of the best ways to go. Good luck.
