Passed my test!

Passed this morning. Really pleased!

I'm going to test ride 2 Harleys tomorrow.

An Iron 883. Absolutely love the look of these, in fact seeing one of these in November is what made me decide to learn to ride. The only thing which worries me is that I'm pretty tall and heavy and I don't know if it feels to small when I sit on one.

Street Bob special. This is sort of the next bike up. Feels much more my size when I sit on it and has a much bigger engine (1600cc) so I would imagine is has a fair bit more go.
I just don't know if it's too much bike as a first bike.

Anyway.. Does any one have any advice on what will suit me best or indeed on what sort of deals I can get out of the dealer?

Test drove the Iron and a fat Bob Today and just felt like the iron was too small for me, once I got over the weight of the fat Bob I loved it so just doing a couple of sanity checks over the next day and going to order one on Tueday for delivery at the end of the month.

Looking forward to getting on it!

Looks good mate! Make sure you get plenty of acf50 to keep it shiny.

How and where do I need to use this?

How do I wash the bike? Its a collection of Chrome, Gloss Black paint and Matt Black paint. Do I just spray it with the pressure washer?

Can I take it to the hand car wash?

I obviously havent got a clue.
