Let's talk... Ironhead Sportsters

You might want to make the Sporty your second or third bike. Cuz most guys go thru at least two on the learning curve. It ain't so much you learning to ride, as it is you learning to read all the idiot car drivers. The first thing they always always say, after they bash you is; "I never saw you". WTH? How the heck did you get a drivers license if your flipping blind......

Other cars are my biggest fear, I've got my eyes on everything when I'm behind the wheel. I live on the very edge of town next to open ranch and farm country so I'd be riding out that ways most of the time or up into the mountains, I'd try to avoid high-traffic times of day if I have to go through town. Probably get a bright reflective vest as well.

That would be all the more reason to get something in not the best shape too. Good but not perfect especially cosmetically.
