Thanks for all the welcomes, and thanks for all the info. Alright, I'll be taking the class as soon as I can (probably this or next week). I did just hop on my friends Ninja at work, and did a couple slow starts in the parking lot, but I'm WAY too big for that thing. Uncomfortable as hell. I am glad I made the decision to get a Harley.
I was surprised how easy that thing was to balance, though it does only weigh about 350lbs.
Yes, I'll be taking hundreds of pics as soon as I get it. Man I can't wait!!
PS: I don't care about the whole "girl bike" bs. It's a friggin HARLEY! I have to say every Harley is simply bad to the bone, no matter what model it is.

Welcome from Falls Church, VA. I got my bike before the MSF (an old BMW at the time). No regrets. The bike in the garage pushed me to get through the course. Besides, I spent a lot of time reading books and going through all the parts of the bike.
Some would say certain bikes are beginners bikes while others shouldn't be touched by a beginner. This may be true but it also depends on your maturity level. I would prefer to grow into a bike than grow out of bike. The Sportster, amongst other Harleys, is a fine bike that you can enjoy for quite a few years.
