Default Thanks to all!!!
Just wanted to say thanks to all who replied to my post last night. Definitely going to take the rider's course. There is actually a guy right close to me that teaches it. I have to admit, I was not going to do it.However, after reading here and really thinking it over, I have decided it would be the best move. One other question though. I mentioned the Dyna in my post last night and I am trying to get a little more info in regards to this particular model. A guy I workout with, who has been riding for many years, says he doesn't think this bike will be big enough for me. Reason being, I am 6'4" and about 255Lbs. What do y'all think?As before, all opinions are welcomed and appreciated!

Thanks,
JCH

I am 6-3 and 260, I ride a sportster.
Sit on them and take some pics, forward controls are a must for guys our size I would think. Guys our size make everything dyna and sportster look small.

here are some specs.... Good luck on whatever you decide to get.
