Default Another new guy...

Hey everybody... Another new guy here on the forums. I've been reading posts for a while now and figured it's about time I join up.

I don't own a Harley (yet), but I'm looking to make the jump early next spring. You guys have a great site here and I'm looking forward to picking up a lot of information and hopfully sharing some knowledge with everyone as well.

Salud...

South Texas Welcome!!!

If you haven't done so yet, take the begineer MSF course, they even provide the bike and helmet!! Then when you have some 'free' weekends rent a Harley from a HD dealership or EagleRider and get some expierence on different models, just to make sure which one you really need (want?)

Welcome from another new guy in the forum. The folks here have lots of great info to glean. Keep us posted on your quest for a bike. I have to echo TxMoores sentiments on taking the MSF BRC, it is money well spent. His recommendation to rent different models is also wise, what I, he, or anyone else rides may not be a good fit for you. That said, you could save that time & money and just decide one the Heritage now! [sm=goodidea.gif] Then you can spend that long Connecticut winter deciding on a color. [sm=icon_rock.gif]

See you out there!

John
