Not a big Harley fan myself, though some of the bikes are decent looking. The price is a bit high for what you get imho.

I used to be more about the rice rockets, but the last bike I had was a 98 Intruder VS1400. It was definitely comfortable to ride around for a few hours, but not a bike I'd go touring with.

Also, I don't know what it is like down there, but up here in the Toronto area bike riders get zero respect. The louder the bike, the safer you are. And of course a nice pair of steel-toed boots helps for when some douche in a big ol' land-yacht crowds your lane.
