Default New Road King finally arrived

It's been a long 8 weeks since I put a deposit down, we've had some great autumn riding weather over here which sadly I missed on this ride.

Dropped in to the dealer today for an update & there it was sat in the corner, will be collecting it next Saturday.

I saw one of these on my dealer's floor today and it really looks great, congrats!

I gotta question though...you dropped by the dealer for an update and there it sat...when were they planning to tell you about it?
