Movin on up...

Like many others I rode a HD Duo Glide years ago - 1965 -1967. In 2009 I decided after 42 year I decided to get back in. I bought a 900 Vulcan Classic, dressed it up and rode it for a year about 11,000 miles.
In August of 2010 I bought a Nomad and love it. I tried the Voyager but didn't like the handling (just me I know) but wanted more bike. It is a big step to that 850lb bike but do take the course and if possible something like the Ride Like A Pro course, the DVD's are good but there is nothing like taking the actual course.

Good luck.

I had a yamaha 650 dragstar for about a year then bought a Honda VTX1800. When I first rode it was so well balanced the weight was never a problem even after adding sissy bar, windshield etc. I now ride a 1600 Nomad ( I'm 5' 8" and about 175 pounds) and I just take care at slow speeds. Go for it!

I really appreciate all of the sage advice on here. I have decided to continue riding the ninja while looking for a good used bagger. Maybe something in the 1000 - 1300 cc range. Use that until I am comfortable riding in most conditions then purchase my final NEW bike, whatever that may be. In the meantime I will continue to read and ask questions on sites like this. Again, thanks for all of the advice.
