Nice bikes, all of them!!
I've recently fallen in love as well...  I've never owned (or ever really ridden) a bike before, though I used to hang out with guys that did so I'm certainly no "stranger" to them.  Recently I've been thinking about getting a bike and while looking into the options for a first-timer, I've found that the Harley Sportster bikes are legal for a beginner (over 18) to learn on!!!  You can get a bike licence in Ireland at 17 but are limited to 125cc or less.  The Sportster's lower range are 883cc!!!
I'm in love with the Iron 883!!!

ImageShack.usNow all I need is a job so I can afford to get one!!!  hehehe
Here's the killer, though...  Being in Ireland - and all Harleys are imported, plus government taxes...  They start at almost €9,000 - which works out at about $12,900.  They go for about $8,000 in America 

  Some mark-up, eh?
Anyway - something to aim for!!
