Default Yahoo!!!!!! I got my first Harley (NT)

Well, I got my first Harley, the 05 Night Train I was asking about in my other thread. Took the advice of get the one that "speaks to you", and it did. No, it yelled at me!

Here's what it is:
05 Night Train. Black pearl in color. It has the complete HD "Skull" package, too include a quick detachable sissy bar with the skull on back. Drag bars with risers, steel braided lines, Vance and Hines Short shot pipes, STAGE ONE engine mods and a different seat. At this time I don't know what kind, but it looks like a Badlander with "Harley Davidson" stiched on it. It sets lower than the new NT it sat on to compare (which for me is a good thing). So whoever had this bike before, must have been about my size (5'7") because as soon as I set on it, I knew it was mine.
There was no reservation and I definately have the "warm and fuzzy", that I made the right decision. Beautiful place to start.

I just want to thank everyone for thier input, and making me feel welcome here.
I will get some pictures as soon as I can.

All right, glad you found YOUR bike.

But your not completely off the hook till we get to see some pics of the beauty.
So get your butt in gear and get some posted ASAP.

That's great advise,you were smart to listen...

Logic pointed me towards other HD's,but I kept going back to the dealer haunted by my love for the Nightrain....

I still go out to the garage and stand there looking at it.

I promise to get some picture posted. I had to work a "special deal" with the as to just retiring from the ARMY, I wanted to get another paycheck under my belt so I cou;d put a bigger down payment down. So I will be able to get it next weekend. This is going to be a LONG week!
But everything is signed and it belongs to me. Very cool people. If your in the area, stop by and see the people at Central Texas HD in Austin. Excellent people there. I had a very good "feeling" as soon as I walked in there. And they gave me a really good deal on it. Even better than originally quoted.

I am stoked, no doubt about it.
