Hello everyone. I'm still looking for my dream HD. I've been to the local dealership twice already. The last time the manager showed me a pre-owned 03 Dyna Low Rider with 15k miles and all the accessories I was inquiring about (touring seats, wind shield, highway pegs, saddle bags, passenger back rest/sissy bar). I want something that I can use going to work as well as weekend trips or longer with my wife if we wanted too. The touring bikes were too heavy for me (expensive too) plus they don't look like the ones you could use daily (I may be wrong). I've been dirt biking for a couple of years with the kids. I'm in the process of getting my motorcycle license added to my regular auto DL. Written test in 2 weeks. Safety course a week later. I've been reading reviews and this forum to get as much info as possible. Great info. Thank you. Relax, drive safely, and enjoy God's creations.

Welcome to HDF, as far as a touring bike for daily use nothing better, use my for commuting and running around nothing like having place to pick things up or delivery things.
