Cool new member
Good morning
I found this site a few days ago when I started searching for my first Harley. I've been reading the posts for days now
I'm in the process of purchasing an 07 Nightster with 5300 miles. I've had bikes in the past, mostly crotch rockets, and this is my first Harley. Always wanted one and since I'm going through a divorce, figured it's time. I haven't been on a bike in over 10 years, but like a kid on Christmas morning, I can't wait to start riding again!
I have lots more to read......
Bruce

Congrats bassdog and welcome! Since you're coming from sport bikes just remember these harleys don't lean as far over so watch those curves.

Post some pics and hope you enjoy your ride!
