Default Well, then...hi.
I'm Eric. I'm 55 and I won't mind if you call me a wannabe...though I'm really a "wannabe again." I let bikes go as too much expense, way back when I got married to a woman with kids. The kids are grown and gone, now; I'm retiring and the first thing I'm gonna buy outta my retirement money is a new Harley. (And ain't no woman gonna stop me!)

I came here to get some Dyna vs Softtail advice, and the folks were so friendly, I believe I'll hang around if y'all let me.

So Howdy.

welcome from Furthest West Texas.

Choosing between Dyna and Softails, I'd have to pick TOURING. (just my experience) My suggestion: at least sit on some Road Kings when you're out and about at the dealer.
