Default FINALLY!

Got my brand new '07 Vivid Black Road King Standard yesterday!
Bought it on Monday but had the dealer put a couple things on it so I couldn't pick it up until Wednesday.
Took it for a quick 30 mile ride.
Would have been longer but it started to rain so I headed home.
I'm not much of a "windshield guy" but I can sure tell it will help on my out-of-town trips.
I'll remove it for my commute to work.
Oh, I know a lot of folks don't like the stock seat on the RK, but it feels GREAT to me.
I'll see how it does on longer trips.

I'm loving the RK!
