Default Pulled The Trigger

First new Harley, Had 5 used ones but never new, 2012 RKC in Pearl White.
I found the 103 to be bad *** even compared to my kinda built 96. Got it for MSRP, no fees and the took my 2007 in trade at $12.100. Which a lot of people said was impossible. Difference was $8000 out the door with a $250 gift card, t- shirt and some other useless crap.
The bike blows my 2007 outta here!!!
Pic after pickup tomorrow WOOOOHOOOOO

I feel like a 16 year kid about to get his first piece of nookie

You lucky lucky man. Congratulations. So wish I could get that one. But I have a great '02 King that has always done me right. Doesn't hurt for me to wish a little though. Enjoy!
