Welcome!

Hopefully your different scoot will encourage a different approach to riding. I do know some folks that need transplants. You seem to be using your organs now. Might be best to keep it that way, though my friends who need them may disagree....

A lot of us are past crotch rocket riders, then we grow up "a little" and actually enjoy the ride on Harley.

One word of advice, don't try to ride your Harley like it's a GSXR 1000.

i used to ride a cbr1000, i came out of a bar one night, some guy pulled up to me on yam. sportbike,and motioned "lets go fly down the highway".. we were flying, last i noticed him, we passed a sheriff going 160mph... so a few days later a good friend of mine came to my work "hey, did you hear about Chucky" he told me about another good fried of ours. he was out flying around on his brothers bike with very little experience.he hit a guard rail and was smeared across a 1/4 mile of the highway. the random guy i was riding was my friend wearing a helmet. he wouldn't of been riding like that if i didn't show him how..i sold the bike a week later and got a nice slow harley..

Welcome! DH has a CBR954RR. Came home and told me he was going to kill himself on it and needed to get a Harley. He got one, I liked it and took it, and he got another. Still have the 954 in the garage also.

Enjoy!!
