I would REALLY like some help here.
I have ALWAYS wanted a bike and I saw the Night Rod Special the other week and it is the bike of my dreams.

I am going to take the course to learn to ride and all of that stuff first

BUT

I am not sure if this would be an ideal bike for me.

I am 5'6 and 152. I can hold the bike up, thats not an issue as I work out plenty.
My feet easily touch the ground but after reading a few reviews it sounds as if this
bike is more designed for taller longer people?
I do not plan on riding cross country or anything like that.
I do not have any interest in riding 100 mph or anything like that.
I want a bike I can take out with my friends that have the big cruisers and also one I can ride with my friends who have the cafe racers...

Is this a good choice of a bike for me?
Sitting on it felt good BUT of course just sitting on it you dont get into the position of riding or really get the feel. Of course I know this will really come down to how the bike feels for me but Id like the opinions of experienced riders....

Thank you in advance for your time and help.
If you would rather Email me please feel free.
