Smile New guy from Iowa...
Hey Everyone,

Been browsing around the site for about a month or so now, hoping to get a Iron 883 soon so i thought i would hop on and join the party! I currently have an 09 R1...and am looking to switch it up a bit, I've been on Sport bikes my whole life and am looking for something with a little more comfort, and a little less "I'm going to get myself killed, or arrested". I know the Iron probably isn't going to be the most comfortable bike ever, but it has to be better then a sportbike. I commute 35 mins to work and back daily. And it is a great ride, other then that i'll probably plan on taking a few trips a year, and ride two up once in awhile. So...Let me have it...
