I Got The Green Light For A Harley
 
Well after my 24 years of existance in the world wanting to buy a harley, the wife gave me the go ahead the other day!! I'm not to sure on what i want yet though. She likes the Fat boy but i like the dyna's. What do you harley guys think. In the long run what will be the better bike? I wont be buying a brand new one my cieling for price is way too low:( but I wanted to try and get some input. I'll probly start lookin around in mid April when I get back to NC.

Wow Whit that is a sweet lookin bike. My buddy has a white 05 heritage classic, it's really what got me back in the mood of a bike. I looked at a few sportsters before but even the 1200's I think I would look a little big on lol. I heard they are fast as heck but i would get tired of it fast and want something a little bigger.

here is mine it is a 99 night train.. from what i have learned the dynas are nice for a taller rider there is more leg room plus they ride a bit nicer as well and they have rubber mounted engines. which reduce viberation. i would like to buy a full dresser soon yes it is a big bike but on long rides you cant go wrong. if you are leaning toward a fatboy i would ride one first floorboard pegs are hard to get use to and some do not like em.. is your wife going to be riding with you?

I may be sticking my neck out farther than I should, being that this is a harley thread...but have you ridden any of the new Victories? friend of mine is a manager at one of our local dealerships so I get to ride pretty much all of their take home bikes. I really could not believe how nicely the Vics rode first time I took one out...way more comfortable, responsive and fast than a cruiser should be!

and pete, regardless of what you get, congrats on permission to get a bike and keep the rubber down!

I'm riding an 883 Sporster L - depending on how leggy you are and where you put the pegs I could see how it might be short. But I've got the low the other's were a couple inches taller.

Since no one else has said it yet --- if you haven't done so already go take the MSF riding class. Even for someone who has ridden for a while it is a great class and everyone walks away learning something. For me it was invaluable since this is my first season riding :choochoo:

Happy hunting - have fun picking your bike!!
