No Harley yet, and I never thought I would want one ... but

     Hello everyone,

     

    My name is Matt and I live on the Sunshine Coast.

    I have previously owned a matte black Ducati Monster, which I loved. And I have been thinking about getting another bike for quite a while.

    The rides that had caught my eye were a Triumph speed triple, and a Ducati sport 1000 classic.

     

    Until, on the weekend I was down at Moss st Underwood with a mate and we saw the new Speed triples. Turned me off Triumph straight away :(

    We happened to be admiring a beautiful softail deluxe out the front of the Triumph dealership and my mate said. Lets head around to Harley and look at more.

    Upon arriving, I found my future bike. Black Denim Iron 883. (I have previously admired the nightsters and what not, but this I have to have!)

     

    So, today spoke to Jason at Sunshine Coast Harley. And happened to call in with the wife to see what she thought. Big thumbs up from her as well.

     

    Now, its just a matter of sorting out funds and other vehicles. And finding the right deal for me!

     

    Thought I should pop on and introduce myself, I will more than likely be lurking here for quite a while!

     

    Cheers

    Matt

    Welcome mate, I too have always had sports bikes until I saw a black Iron earlier this year and had to have one! Four months later I have clocked up 7000kms and absolutely love riding it!

    actually come to think of it ,it was the denim black Iron that brought me over from the jap side when I saw one ,then a test ride on a Nightster sealed it ,I got the 48 and 8000 ks later ,
    I love it.

    Onya Matt - good choice.

    And I recognise some paralells here; I'm ex Ducati and did the Triumph or Harley pondering also involving Moss St. HA!!

    Ha! Thanks guys, seems that my situation isn't terribly unique!

    By all means, if anyone hears of someone looking to offload a black denim Iron, forward their details to me :)

    Well done matt, Seeing an Iron sealed it for me also, i've always liked bikes, wanted a harley, so i made it my first bike, 4000k;s in 5 months and 8 points gone from my clean record! lol all worth it!!

    Thanks for the welcomes guys!
    It really seems like the Iron catches quite a few peoples interest!

    I have pretty much made up my mind that is what I am getting.
    Took the wife into SC HD and she threw her leg over one, cause I have to at least let her think she will be allowed to ride it!
    And she loved it also!

    I don't know why we just don't get two bikes?

    Send Damon a message mate, he's been debating selling his and has dropped considerable $$$ upgrading it! Not sure what he wants for, but if you're looking for a an iron....be worth touching base!
