Hello from Oregon. This may be premature but its coming so bear with me . Ive spent the last several months looking, thinking, youtubing and surfing and decided to get a starter bike because I know that you dont really know what you want until you get into something. So I bought a very inexpensive 96 intruder 800 about a month ago. It has some aftermarket pipes but its really just a small v-twin I am a firm believer that it is better to make mistakes on small, inconsequential things so for the near term Im on my learner bike.
Ive thought about many different options, sporties, adventures and the like and looked at my situation and found that I just love to cruse. Im not young so Im not looking for excessive speed but I do love pulling hard out of the corners. I like the looks that I get even just on the intruder. Rolling down the highway with the right music in my ears and the rumble the background as the sun is coming up Nuff Said?
Now Im all but set on a Fat Bob, hoping to ride one soon and have my feelers out for the right deal. Im just looking to kind of absorb the knowledge here and ask a few questions .
