[QUOTE="brittneyp, post: 3306730, member: 106524"] Nordic it sounds like we are headed in the same direction. I bought a 1200 custom Sportster about a year ago. I had sold my last bike right before I meet my wife. When I started wanting a bike again but she was against it. She stated she didn’t like bikes. I finally talked her into it. I had been saying that I wanted a HD for a long time. I showed her used ones and got her to check out some new ones at the dealer. My son in law has a Fatboy ( it’s my step daughters husband) so he was helping me convince her how much fun they were. We she finally said if I got the Sportster we she would see how she liked it. So we got it. I put a sissy bar on it and a new seat. Then talked her into short rides. After teaching her how to ride (I had a bit of a time getting her to lean with me) she really started loving short rides (about a hour or two).
