Had a Honda CB125 street bike, barely street legal! Not sure what yr. it was... prob. a '73 or '74, kick start. Had a blast on it but soon sold it. Didn't ride again till getting my Harley Nightster!

Suzuki C50 Boulevard - put about 1300 on it, traded for a Yamaha Venture - too dang top heavy. Put about 6k on that one, traded my 09 SG. They had just gotten it in and it wasn't even on the showroom floor yet. 8500 miles later and still loving it. Best bike I have ever ridden.

I started righint late in my life (30) and for the past 11 yrs, only had HDs. First was my 1200 XLC and now my '09 RG.

My in-laws are diehard GW owners and they tried to get meon a GW after my Sporty, I said no thanks (and my wife said the same thing)

Ride safe and have fun!

Honda 750 Shadow. A great bike for the street but not so much for long distances. Why did I go to a harley? Because it's a Harley. The softtail is wonderful on the highway.

My first and only bike is my 2010 FXDC. Dreamed about getting a bike since I was in my teens.....just waited way too long! 37 when I finally took the MSF course and pulled the trigger on a Harley last June! It has been all I dreamed about and more!!!!!
