Great forum! I've been reading up a bit and glancing at pics of all the nice scooters here.
I used to ride many years ago on a learners permit and never fallowed thru on the license since the instructor failed me oh so many years ago for not sliding my visor down on my helmet during the test (insert face plant). Course I was invincible back then and decided i didn't need a license.
Twenty some years later I'm finally going to get back into the saddle and want something bigger than a Honda Magna 500 for my 6'6" 290lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal. Yes, I'm sure I looked like a circus bear riding that tricycle back in the day.
I'm signed up to take the Harley riding course next month and want to get into something that will accommodate my frame.
All my (peddle) bikes are custom fit and I imagine a bike wouldn't be any different and was told the same by my local Harley dealer.
I'm not looking for a huge bike with fairings. Sadly I really like the Iron 883, just wish it came in a double wide.
I guess if I could chose a style of bike it would look something like this.
Or
Or
I don't think they make an economical bike like the above stock for guys my size.
I've got my eye on either a Breakout or a Road King (special).
Do you guys think I could make either one of them work for me?
The plan is to test ride some bikes after I get my license and then make a decision on a bike.
