Mine at last!
I am still not smarter than this website, and am "load a picture" challenged...but I'll conquer that as well shortly! But I wanted to get this up while I was thinking of it...I had a super experience buying this bike, and I wanted to let you know there are good dealers and sales folks out there! I don't know if I am supposed to say a Dealer's name here, but I was so impressed by HD of Cartersville, Georgia, that I have to let everyone in the area, and close enough to drive here, know about them. After reading horror stories about the "Stealers" out there, the past 6 or 7 months I contemplated this purchase gave me pause...but the guy I worked with, Okie Austin, a retired "Motor Cop", led me through the process with absolutely no pressure and a wealth of knowledge about Harleys, options, what a "newbie" Harley owner should know and what to "shine on" and not worry about. He worked the deal with me from beginning through financing the bike (and working with Dena, the F&A Mgr there was a treat...she worked with the interest rate and with Jeff, the Gen Mgr on price and got me where I wanted and needed to be) to the delivery and he always showed me respect (even when I asked about as dumb a question as anyone could) and acted the professional he is.

Congrats on the new bike, and welcome to the forum. It's nice to hear about good experiences with dealers. They're not all "stealers," but quite a few will get into your pockets if you allow.
