Default New Road King

Took delivery of my new Road King today. Went to start it for the first time and got the flashing turn signals of the security system. I opened the fob, then tried the other one. No go. I had seen the guy drive it around the front. WTF!!

The salesman was pretty nice, he said "it looks like you turned on the hazard flashers." Turned them off and everything was copacetic. Fantastic bike.

Or as I like to say, "if you looked up the word 'motorcycle' in the dictionary, it would show a picture of a Road King".

Congrats.
