Default Hello From Nor-Cal.

Well I've been lurking the site for some time now and thought it would be time to introduce myself. I'm 32 and have had a love for Harley Davidson bikes since I was a little one watching my dad work on his. I was raised around the biker lifestyle and with the help of my uncle could strip a Harley to it's frame in about an hour. I'm not sure why I've taken this long to decide on buying one for myself. But the time is soon to come. I've found loads of helpful threads here to help solidify my choice of bikes. So right now it's a toss up between an Iron 883 or a Dyna.

Anyways I wanted to thank everyone for the hundreds of helpful threads. I've been out of the loop for about 7 years now and it's nice to know that I can catch up fast.

Yea I'm thinking that too. I'll have to setup a test ride. I've been a Sportster fan since day one so it's going to be tough.
