Hi everyone, let me start out saying that it's been nearly 15 years since I've been on a bike. Got the urge really bad here lately and am strongly considering getting back into it. I've owned 2 bikes over the years and have a lot of dirt experience. My last bike was a Yamaha XS1100G but that's been a long time. The majority of my experience has been on dirt bikes. I bought the 1100 because it was a deal too good to pass up, but never put a lot of miles on it. I rode the street long enough to get some of the basics down such as countersteering, braking and such, but have less than 1000 miles street experience. I have been down once OUCH! and still carry the scars as a reminder. Mechanical failure (stuck front caliper)on a wet road got me. I never got very comfortable in traffic and always figured that all the cars were out to get me

Anyway I'm thinking about going the Harley route this time. I'm a big guy 6'2" 335# and have long gorilla arms, so fitment is an issue to me. I've sat a bunch of bikes lately and so far the best fit has been a Dyna Wide Glide and a Road King. I have been looking into the MSF courses and know that will be my 1st step. Oh yeah I am 50 yrs old and very conservative

so speed is not an issue to me. Never liked going fast on a bike when I was younger, I'm a cruiser at heart. So tell me my experienced friends......Have I lost my mind, maybe having a mid-life crisis. I love all things mechanical and have had a fascination with V twins since I heard that 1st Panhead with drag pipes. Don't spare my feelings, if ya think I'm an idiot, go ahead and say it. Anyway, thanks for any advice or guidance Y'all can give me
