So the short version of my story I am a newbie to the whole bike riding experience accually haven't even gotten a bike yet passed my m class test two weeks ago. My one very close friend owns a harley and I have always like them. He started taking me to harley dealers shops and introducing me to some people he knew. I was hooked from then on everyone I have run into was always nice and are more then willing to share there knowledge and information. I am torn between two bikes a fatboy in the new chrome yellow or a street glide in sodona orange. I have test driven both and I still don't know which one I like more. Comments are greatly apprishiated.

Congrats and welcome to the forum from Levittown, PA.
If you want a more laid back look, you might consider the Fat Boy over the SG.

Welcome. It is your call - which one better fits your personality and how you want to ride? they are distinct bikes.

Welcome to the forum. Consider the most prevelant style of riding you will be doing and get the bike you want accordingly. Both would be great over the road but the batwing fairing and sound system on long journeys on the SG would be nice. Tough decision, but in the end, get the one YOU want.
