Default Pulled the trigger

Today is our 8 year wedding anniversary, yep 4/20. We bought ourselves a present. After much searching, sitting on bikes, we chose the Road King. I drove it home today, about a 40 mile ride in 38 degree temp. It was cold, but I had an ear to ear smile. Can't wait for better weather, possibility of snow showers here tomorrow. Bike is 07 with 10,000 miles. It came with a bunch of extras, tour pack, driver and passenger backrest, 200 watt amp with speakers. We are stoked!
