Default Kid from Albuquerque
Whats up, my names Caqui. I'm from Albuquerque and I'm finally ready for a bike. My pops and uncles are all riders and I'm looking for a bike myself now. FINALLY!!! Im 26 now but i've never owned a bike. I'm 5'5 140 so Im thinking maybe a Sportster 1200 or a softtail.
I found this website so I decided to join and do some homework before I buy.

Welcome from Tucson. I agree, at least check out the Softails before you choose.
