Default Hello, from Raleigh, NC

Just wanted to introduce myself. Im from Raleigh NC. Got the money and am going to get a Harley. I owned an FZ1 in college and the old honda magna (I looked rediculous). Trying to finalize my decision on what model Harley. Im torn between a few models. I think I'm to young for a bagger but like the road king. I am 6"5 300 and need to find the model that will be most comfortable and fun. Any suggestions? I look forward to getting to know everyone. Now it is time to get on the classifieds and find my scooter.

Taylor

Welcome from north Raleigh....
buy the bike that makes you want to turn around and look at it.... go to the various dealers, and sit on EVERY bike they have.... don't paint yourself into a corner for or against any model/brand..... it isn't WHAT you ride, it's whether you ride

Age isn't the issue - purpose is. Get the bike that can do what you want it to do. Welcome from Falls Church, VA!

Welcome from central Washington. You have come to the right place for all things H-D. No better forum around. Tons of info, great folks and a perfect place to hang your helmet...when you're not wearing it. Glad to have you here. Geezer
