Hello HD Forum
ANG New to the forum and motorcycles. Bought my first bike a 2005 Harley Sportster 1200C. Pretty excited to ride. However, the weather here in Minnesota isn’t cooperating.

I’m new to riding motorcycles, I feel the Sportster is a good starter bike, it’s light weight and easy to maneuver.
The metric bikes where just as expensive as a used Harley.

My Dad riding Harley’s was an influence on my decision also.
