I've ridden my Sporty only once since I got it and all I can think about is a black pearl RK Classic.

RE: doc. fee
I'm amazed at how you guys get treated when you spend your money at the HD dealers.
In the UK, every dealer will sell you the bike for the msrp. No variation, but you can haggle if you're trading in. Difference is, msrp is an "on-the-road" price. Includes everything: pre-delivery inspection, registration, road-tax, plates, 1st service, HOG membership, breakdown cover, etc. The only thing you need to do is arrange your insurance. You can't get much more straightforward than that.
My salesman did offer to sell me a stage 1 kit for £700. I went two shades paler and wondered if the wife would ever speak to me again, so I said I'd think about it and maybe get iot at the 1000 mile service. (Glad I did. Had a quiet word with the service manager and got it for £550!) My point is, you're parting with a not insignificant wad of cash (I've said before, it took me nearly 30 years to be able to afford to spend that kind of money on what is, essentially, a plaything) - so the last thing you want is to be faced with all sorts of extra charges. Dammit, if there's any money left over, there's all that shiny stuff to spend it on!

Unless you're Skip. He buys neither new bike nor chrome. Though Mac is trying to bring him to the Light.
