Default Another New Guy!

Hello HDforums.com! I'm very excited to be apart of the Harley community. 100% green rider here. Bought my first bike the other day a 2016 Harley-Davidson fat bob. I shopped around online thought I knew what I wanted (Iron 883) but at 6'00" 215 lbs and in shape the guys at the shop showed me the Dynas. Cool bikes. The street bob was neat and the wide glide as well, but they wanted me to see the fat bob and the front tire and duel headlights drew me. So I tossed my leg over it and sat it up and it felt better than the iron. The weight wasn't intimidating, but rather I felt right at home. So I bought it. Going to the riders academy in a couple weeks and plan to drive it off the lot after that. Very excited and looking forward to seeing what all the hype is about.
