Folks-
I know this is the :wf: , but wifie and I have decided to buy a Harley 1200 Sportster. We are going to definately keep the Cobra-it's paid for, and so is my life insurance! Anyone have any:
1-bike for sale, by chance? It must be a 1200 Sportster, no bling, pref. not 72-82. Think I can swing max $10k. Mildly extended fork okay.
2-recommended places for purchase(goin to Annapolis HD tomorrow)
3-bike of their own who would like to "putt" around these back roads with me and gimmee a few tips? I already have a cop friend who is gonna coach me, but verbally-he sold his bike, and the training courses are backed up 4 months. I'm willing to pay for lessons.
4-advice? I'm right with God, feel a peace with the decision, wifie is super-jazzed, and I don't trust anyone else on the road, so I'm not walking into this like a babe in the woods.
5-I have a bit of off-road experience with a smaller bike
Would love any help possible, and any advice, including you can pm me or reply if you know of HOW any bad wrecks happened-I'm cool with learning from experience. That's why NTSB puts out a book detailing plane crashes-to help others to avoid a repeat.
Thanx-
