    Hi all, new to this forum and on the look out for my first Harley.

    I've been to Peter Stevens and ridden the Sportster 883, and didn't like it. I think I'll be going for something with a bit more guts.

    I love the look of the Heritage Softail Deluxe, so probably go for one of those Flash shiney ones !

    The only bikes I have ridden previously have been dirt bikes, I've had an xr250, a Husky TE450 and a Banshee 350 Quad, so a Harley might handle a little different to my previous bikes.

     I went for a sniff around Peter Stevens today and they have 2010 Dyna wideglides on Special for $26,450 driveaway and free 12 months full comp. insurance. Is this the best price in Australia for a new Wideglide ? Any body seen any better deals ?

    I was thinking about buying a second hand Heritage deluxe, for my first Harley,but at this price it's hard to go past a Sweet Wide Glide.

    Well I took some of the advice about test riding a wideglide before signing on the dotted line, and I LOVED IT !

    Took the demo bike for a ride and it had V & H big bore pipes and breather kit as well as the mod chip and it sounded, and rode sweet.

    It added another 2 grand to the base price but I think well worth the money.

    Needless to say the New wideglide should be in the driveway by Monday or Tuesday.

    Will have to change my Online name now, from still looking to Just found

    Will post pics when I pick her up.

    Welcome mate & well done, those glides are cool machines.

    I would've got the lux though...

    Well my new ride arrived today, spent nearly an hour looking at it sitting in the driveway, then took it for another ride, in the rain.
