New Limited
I bought my first Harley in 2012, an AWESOME FLSTFB. I've owned north of 15 motorcycles in my lifetime and the Fat Boy Lo is easily one of my favorites. I've always seen ads for Harley Davidsons with thousands in extras and wondered how in the world can you put $10K in parts on ANY bike? Well, two years after buying my first Harley Davidson I no longer wonder.
I'm deployed to Southwest Asia right now and planned on trading in my beloved Fat Boy Lo on a new Street Glide Special when I got back, but things have changed. For one, I can't bring myself to get rid of the Fat Boy Lo. Second, with the money I'll put into the SGS on accessories at delivery I figure I may as well go all-in and order a new limited. So that's what I did. I ordered the limited through the military sales program in Amber Whiskey and Black. Boy, was that a tough choice. HD nailed the colors on this bike! EVERY vehicle I've ever bought there was always a clear and easy choice. Not this one.
Anyway, I rotate back in July and I CANNOT wait to pick up this bike! I've had BMW touring bikes with all the same equipment, but there's something to be said for the Harley twin.
If you see a guy in SC riding an amber whiskey and black Limited in July with a big s**t-eating grin and a beautiful brunette on the back (wife), that'd be me!
Until then I'll be scouring these forums for info! I've already learned a lot from everyboy that posts. Thanks!

You are "The Man - we think alike. I too have the Amber Whisk and Black. Initially wanted the red one -but when I say this one sitting - to my, it was hands down (actually my wife said - get this one). Whenever she says get a bike, I am half way there.
Enjoy the ride -and as others have said, thanks for your service (!LT, SC - USA)

Congrats on the bike. I had the same thoughts about colors and came to the same decision. They really did nail all the combinations for '14.
And thank you for your service!
