Hi all! I have been riding crotch rockets for years, and have finally decided to make the switch to HD. Looking for some good advice, and from what I have read, this seems like THE PLACE! Thanks for having me aboard.

Don't get too excited...... We've successfully dashed the hopes of many a new HD rider...

Welcome.

Where in NJ?

Dave,

Thanks for the warm welcome! I'm between Philadelphia and the shore. About 15-30 minutes from Philadelphis and 50 minutes from the shore.

Dave,

I'm about 40 min from the Motor Sports Park.

Bob,

How do you like the 883? I'm a bit torn on which bike to get.

Welcome to the forum. If your coming from a sport bike you may want to consider the 1200. I'm partial to the Nightster myself.

My dilemma is I like the Rocker & Night Train, but they are out of my price range. I like the Iron 883 but am leery that it will be too slow...
