Bagger as a first bike?

The bike you see here is my first bike. I bought it new two years ago when I was 30 years old. I had ridden other motorcycles before but not often. I learned how to ride on a Honda Valkyrie. So when I bought this bike, it had been about 2 years since I had even ridden one at all. So when I left the HD dealership on my brand new Road King I was a little nervous at first, getting out of the parking lot. But once I got onto the Highway it was just like riding a bicycle. SO, GO FOR IT. Better to get it now than settle for something else and regret that decision. Good Luck.

Take a Motorcycle Safety Course and you'll be fine with the bagger.
It'll save you money from buying small and upgrading.

I was told by some that I should work my way up when I first started out. I was then told by a good friend to start with a bagger because you'll lose money as you'll want to trade up soon anyway. I started on a bagger
