Thanks guys. This was all very helpful. Here's where I think I'm at:

With all the emphasis on safety that I'm seeing, I can't really be serious about the Harley until I'm super confident I can handle it. So what I'm going to do is apply for a Motorcycle permit, and take a class at Englishtown Raceway (most likely - they seem reputable). I'll see how that feels since they will fit you to either a 125, 250 or 500cc bike.

Passing a course is one thing, but confidence is something else entirely. I can pass a course by knowing just enough to get through it, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm confident. I'll see how my confidence level is after the course and go from there.
