A freind of mine is about your same age and size and he rides a Heratige and loves it. If you can't test ride bikes in your area a suggestion might be to go to a local bike fest or bike nite and talk to other bikers. Like here on the forum most will give you their honest opinion on their bikes. Might help you decide.......................Zig

Move away from the bike with your hands in the air..... Always wanted to say that to a cop. Don't be confused....just get one of each!
What ever you pick, you will enjoy the heak out of. Welcome aboard.

So many bikes! So many decisions!

Like others, I think the Heritage Softail gives you a lot of bang for the buck. I went with the Softail Springer Classic, mostly because I like the 'retro' look and feel. Plus, the springer ride is second to none.

Regardless, welcome to the forum. Post often and have fun!

Hey folks , I've got to admit that I'm floored by the quick responses to my inquiry!! You people are the friendliest folks I've come across in a long time, and you've given me a lot of good advice. Thanks to all, and hopefully I'll join "the ranks" soon.

Thanks again, Hank
