Default Howdy!!
Hello, I've been browsing the forums for the past week as I'm interested in getting into biking. Specifically a Harley.

I've never ridden, but have wanted to for the longest time.

Thanks everybody. Had someone offer to sell me their 1999 Fat Boy a week ago. That's all I've been thinking about since. Just wish I could get a look at it first hand, but I'll have to wait till the end of May.

It would be my first bike ever, and I'm trying to read up as much as possible about the pros and cons of getting a bigger bike as a first bike. We'll see what happens.
