Talking FNG from MD

Didn't start riding until five years ago since any discussion around motorcycles were taboo when I was growing up. Guys at work got me started and was bit by the bug. Went through the MSF course. Got a metric cruiser since I didn't know how this venture would turn out. I believe I'm ready to take the next step to getting a "real" motorcycle.

I've been hanging around this forum for a while now and learning a great deal about Harleys. What a fantastic group of people on this site. There's an enormous amount of experience here. I felt I wasn't getting everything out of this site by being a guest. I'm looking at the Road King Classic as my next bike.
