Welcome from Bristol, UK.

I've also returned to 2 wheels after a long time away (20 years) and the Harley is much bigger and heavier than any bike I've had before. The first half of the ride home from the dealers was little short of terrifying. But each time I take her out I enjoy it more and more and the confidence is growing fast. If there is something like a car park which isnt in use one day a week, I recommend using it to practise some slow speed manouvers. That certainly helped me a lot.
