Default Nice retirement gift

I wonder if my employees will be as nice to me when I retire.

Yes he did. But it's still a nice gift and heck...you can't have too many Harleys.

Cool retirement present but I always wonder what would have happened if Paul Allen would have thrown all that money at Bill Parcells instead of Holmgren.....

The local news had it as a Screaming Eagle Ultra package, that's what it looks like anyway, an Ultra. I think he already has a street or road glide, not sure.

José Miguel Romero; Seattle Times staff reporter, needs to do his homework before he writes an article. He even has the color wrong, it's not Cherry Red...it's Red Hot Sunglo!...But that's not as bad as calling it a Road King
