Hi! I recently passed my bike test and have been riding an old CB 500 while I save up to buy my favourite brand, HD.

I want to treat myself to a brand new bike but which one is likely to suit me? I am 26, male and average build/ height.

The modifications I am after would be a loud, barely legal sound, and an arms up/ legs wide posture, so I guess I'd get a screaming eagle pipe and filter, but what decent hanger-style bars do HD offer from the factory?

I'm going to ride solo, mostly winding country rods but also some city work and the very occassional long haul (Dorset to Glasgow).

Any help is welcome, but please don't critisize my brand choice, as I won't yours. I just want to enjoy my own ride whilst trying to strike a balance between responsible and a hooligan!

Thanks.
