I Market, Advertise, Promote, Harley-Davidson Motorcycles.
The Rocker is cool though limited when it comes to luggage/passenger options. I'll tell you what's got my attention right now is the Fat-Bob. Dual Headlights, fat front end with dual discs so you can actually stop and it's Dyna Chassis so it actually handles as well. The Softails are kind of pigs in the handling department. Just make sure you hold tight for a good deal, sales are down around the country, don't expect a huge break, but do NOT pay a premium for Harley (Prolly shouldn't be saying that) but there it is somewhere around retail is about right this time of year. The new 96 CI motor, 6-speed tranny, and FI makes the entire line a really sweet ride though. Nothing wrong with any of em'. But If you want to be different, and you want a bike that wants you? Get one of these, I have mine coming, I'm just waiting to take delivery... Moto Guzzi Griso... Something differen't, besides, Obi Wan rides one...

The Night Rod was my first choice, and then was told that the Softail was a smoother ride....
im a beginner and at times would give the wife a ride... i want something that would be a nice starter bike (cruiser) aswell as fun modder.. thx for the input.... added shot, slip on exhaust mod.
