Thread: Motorcycles

For all intents and purposes, I've never ridden a motorcycle. After recently finding myself in a Harley dealership, I can't get these beautiful machines out of my mind. Please let me know your thoughts on safety, pros/cons etc. If I WERE to get a bike, I would really want the safest one available.

a little bit about myself:

34 years old
wife, kids, the whole shabang
6'1" 205 lbs., in good shape, muscular and strong
I am a VERY cautious/conservative driver...as I would be motorcyclist.
I drive a stick shift car
My wife is only modestly opposed to this, not vehemently against it

Money really wouldn't be an issue when considering a new bike. Please give me your collective wisdom on this topic... good and bad.

thanks a bunch
Andrew
