Default New Experience from the Desert!!!
This is such a great site... I have dreamt of having a Harley ever since i was in High School and that was a long time ago. My 08 Street Bob is coming in to port any minute now and I can't wait. I am here in Abu Dhabi, UAE... Is a Street Bob the right choice to start with or should I go ahead with a Fat Boy or Road King?????

Welcome! The Street Bob is a good choice to start with. I started out with a sportster, then a softail, then an electra glide and am now on a Street Bob and absolutely love it!

I was in Abu Dhabi and Dubai last february. I stayed in Jebel Ali right near the big port. Your hot season should be starting up soon huh? I loved my trip there and would go back in a heart beat.
