Howdy and welcome to Harley Country. Sometimes it's hard to make a decision about what bike that you want to ride. Have you ever thought about renting a Harley and letting the ride determine the purchase?

Hi all, new member here from Australia, loved harleys for a very long time, about 6 months away from getting my first, still tossing up between a fatboy or deluxe, got 6 long months to make my decision.

Cheers
Hey man, welcome!!

I ordered my Night Train in August, and she should be here in April... that's 8 LOOOOOOONG months!! I'd like to say it gets easier with time, but it's quite the opposite! However, the payoff will be SO worth the wait!

Cheers!

$.95 is less than half what we're paying and that is assuming the exchange rate is 1 for 1. What octane fuel is that?
