    Hello to all, I am into British bikes and own a number of them including the Norton Commando which I have had for 25 years. As you can imagine I have gotten pretty good at fixing oil leaks and carrying out general maintance over the years.

    Any way I have always wanted a Harley and have finally decided to buy one in the next few months. Unfortunately the finances will not stretch to buying a new bike so I am hoping to buy a good low mileage machine. I know nothing about Harleys other than being told that they are ultra reliable. I am leaning towards a Road King or Fatboy and hope to gather as much information as I can from this forum before I buy.

    Hope the picture of my Norton is acceptable on this site as it is all I can show you till I get the Harley.

    regards, Nilo

    Welcome Nilo hope you enjoy the forums.If you want to do a fair bit of touring i would go for the road king but the fatboy is a great bike to its just i found the road king a bit more comfy.

    Welcome to the best Harley forum m8, well, i would be leaning to the fatboy for a gr8 all round machine, but if you want to do really big klms, go the roadking. All comes down to what your aiming to do, u will work it out, test ride what you are keen on. Great looking Commando buddy!
