Have to be honest with you Lad, Dyna is not my favorite mode, but YOUR spirit is... Noticed that YOU said "... Turning 30, NEEDED a Harley..." and though you are still a 'youngin' (30'ish), apparently mid-life-'realization' has kicked-in early enough for you to take FULL advantage... LUCKY for YOU... We wish YOU happy-trails/traveling mercies and a quick transition to the 'TOURING CLASS'...

I do love this Dyna, because I feel like it suits me perfectly right now, and more importantly, because I can afford it (with my wife's generous and enthusiastic blessing). But the great thing is, I now have equity in a pristine Harley Davidson. And since I bought it used, it shouldn't depreciate too much with me taking good care of it. So, a few years from now when I decide to step up to a Heritage Softail or a Road King, I will have a nice trade in to make the transition easier!
Thank you all for the well wishes, and the same goes back to you all!
enjoy the new bike and welcome to the forums

I am turning 30 this year, and I really wanted to be a Harley owner before rolling over.
Thanks to the wise advice I received here in General Chat, I was able to narrow down my hunt and pull the trigger on an '09 Dyna Super Glide.
My wife thinks I should name it Black Lion, because when she asked me, "Does it feel like you're riding a horse?" I said, "No, it's more like I'm riding a lion."
Not only am I turning 30 this year, but we are also celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary this summer, so, my wife was excited for me to buy a Harley as part of the celebration.
I've already received a ton of great help, so thanks to everyone for the kind assistance! I will do my best to pay it forward!

OK... Keep an open/'balanced' mind... And BTW, if your wife is THAT 'enthusiastic' about your being engaged in dangerous a/vocation(s), well, good luck...
