I thought the same when I sold a software company so I did...no regrets 
Tip
There is a day course in Wales called "a day with Harley "
You ride all the range (except Skirtsters lol)
I bought a Fatboy not long after
Good luck |

Also
Your HD will 'kinda' hold it's value if you want to sell it (I was offered more than I paid for it by a dealer almost 2 years after buying)
The jap stuff, erm, doesn't
Most/all HD are at least stage 2 tuned (basically new exhaust , filter and fuel chip)...this costs 1k+
So second hand is a good bet for the bike coz it will already be done...stock Harley's are actually quiet (relatively)....cops never bother you coz they think that's how they are as standard (ie loud)
Ps don't forget to watch Southpark lol
And IMHO don't buy in to the hog live to ride nonsense...unless you actually ARE an Accountant/Doctor/Dentist etc
Also stay away from the Sons of Anarchy triple patch clothes (unless you like trouble from patched clubs)
I'm in the Groucho Marx bike club...it's great

Always go home the same way as you went! So you can pick up the bits that fell off on the way there! Overpriced crap,won't go and when you eventually build up a little speed you can't stop them either. |

For the lack of power and speed they possess they are horrendously loud, sort of like a slow 2 wheeled Subaru Impreza. They ruin a good day down at the pubs in Queensferry, always a ton of them beside the cafe at the forth bridge. |
