Welcome aboad from Louisiana. I chose the Fat Boy...it works form me but not so much for my wife...she wants a more comfortable ride for longer trips. So I'm gonna keep the Fat Boy and get a trike for the longer trips....(But I still wear the pants in this relationship! Really!) Whatever you choose you'll love!

Welcome to the forum and good luck on your difficult decision. Personally, I waited a couple of years until I was able to get the bike I wanted. I did not want to compromise for something less.

Welcome from a follow member of the Republic.

I agree with some of the others to test ride the bikes. I personally lean toward the Dynas, not a fan of the counter balanced motor on the Fat Boy. For short runs I also prefer pegs over floor boards.

All that being said, you cant go wrong with any of them. You have a great area to ride.

Test ride...that's the best way to figure out what you want.

Where, may I ask, is the North Texas Hill Country? I live in North Texas and there ain't many hills around here.

long rides or over nighters and U'll probably wish U had something with bags for storage.

Our Heritage fits the bill for our long rides perfect, U can store plenty for overnighters too.
