"As a former Honda owner, I think you made a good choice. Nothing wrong with Honda, and a Magna is a good bike. However, I'm a Harley man now, too, and I won't be going back to any other cruiser brand."

Thanks for the welcome. Makes me feel good about my choice. So far, I feel the same about going back. Of course, it would be easy for me to go back, because I still have the Honda. However, I plan on putting it up for sale very soon. Probably won't be able to get enough to pay for the Sportster.

Thanks for more welcomes. I feel as much at home on here as I do on the new Sporty. It's great having new friends and a great ride to boot. Hopefully, down the road aways, we'll be waving as we pass and maybe even get a chance to meet in person.
