Default Hello

Been away from bikes for a very long time. Said i'd not buy another bike until i had the time and money to get what i really wanted (HD). Now that i'm finally in that position, i cant make up my mind what to buy. It's kind of a fun problem to have though. A true "1st world problem". I'm a big guy and a few poeple have said the Dyna's that i'm drawn to are too small for me. I've done some online research on that (some of it was discussions in this forum) and found it to be a recurring theme. I guess i'm not sure how a 650lbs, 1700cc, 96" long bike can be considered small by anyone (Wide Glide). Maybe because it doesnt have bags but I have no interest in touring bikes. I like the cleaner look of the cruisers and that type of riding will be mostly what i'd do. Testing them is fun though. Can't wait to put one in my garage.

I didn't ride for a long time but when I did I owned several Harley's. There is no Harley that out handles a Dyna SG. I had a chance to come back to riding a Harley and chose a dyna and love the bike more all the time. Even me at 6'1" and 250 forward controls and a good seat/bar setup and your golden.
