Awesome. Have you considered an old airhead, rickshaw? They go forever.
But if a Harley is your thing, do it.

They are most excellent. Obviously. Bonneville is the only choice.
Got to Biketrader and salivate over the current selection.

BMW makes a really nice 800 adv. bike now though.
There are some cool triumphs out there. I know another guy here who has a bonneville. Personally, I think their 675cc triple motor is completely bad ass. They are still missing the boat though because they need a lightweight miniature version of the tiger.
Inline motors are easier to access for valve adjustments. Plastic is a nuisance, but it does help cut through the wind.
