Default 1st Time Here

Hello to all from South Central Louisiana,
I have been riding for years, and I am about to purchase my first Harley, Got it narrowed down to
2 bikes, and like most everyone have heardpros and cons on both models so I was surfin' around
and found this forum and started reading some of the posts. I figure I'll get some valuable info. while I'm here and hopefully make a few friends along the way. Oh, by the way the two bikes I'm down on this decision are an 08 Road King, and an 08 Electra Glide Standard.
Look forward to hearing from the group.
Thanks,
Kevin

Welcome from Florida! You'll find lots of bike comparisons here. In addition to reading a lot of info here, I rented several modelsbefore deciding.
