I was just afraid that your situation was going to be similiar to a friend of mines. You know the story. He has been watching all of them motorcycle builder shows and then wanted a chopper. At his age yes he could afford a real nice one, but had never really ridden a bike in his life. Although, he went out and bought one for around 30K with no idea of how to handle it and dropped it twenty times. I am afraid that he is going to end up hurting himself bad. With no prior experience he should have started out with something alot smaller and worked his self up. Thats why if your answer was anything less than like 2 years I was going to suggest something a lot smaller. That being resolved - Great decision.
