Default Greetings!

Hello from Albuquerque, New Mexico! The land of enchantment.....although I think the enchantment wears off after a few years! I dont own a HD yet, but am considering buying one after 21 years of riding other makes. For me, touring on sport compound tires is getting expensive and I want to be more comfortable on my long rides. It seems logical that the cruiser class is in my near future!

Default RE: Greetings!

Thanks very much for the warm welcome. Those are some sweet rides! Currently I own two BMW's. I never like the trade-in deal, so I'm selling the road bike and starting to think about which model HD would best suit my style. I like to tour all year round so I'll need cargo capacity and wind protection. So many models...I hope I can choose the right one for me!
