Sorry guys.......
I have left the Softail family. A Crimson Red Sunglo Road King Classic caught my eye, and I fell in love. Especially after ridin' it. I wound up tradin' my '08 Softail Custom for a '08 Road King Classic. I just didn't feel the connection with the Custom that every Harley owner should have with their bike. I had that connection with my first Sportster and my Deuce, but for some reason I didn't have it with the Custom. I've had the Road King for a day now, and I don't regret my trade one bit. I'm not a huge bagger fan, but damn this bike is nice. And just because I'm on a bagger now, doesn't mean that I'm only gonna vote for baggers for BOTM. As a matter of fact, I don't think I've ever voted for a bagger. I've always liked one of the other bikes more. So don't worry. I'm not gonna become one of "them". 
Thanks for the input you guys have given me, and thanks for puttin' up with my opinions. I'll still check out this section of the forum and add my $.02 on different things.
Oh and here's a picture of the bike when I brought it home.

RE: Sorry guys.......
L2R, I absolutely don't blame you and in fact I am deeply envious. If I were to ever trade my scoot, you have the exact bike it would be for. I love RK's and I love red Harley's. Now to really sink the hook, take a picture from the right side without the windshield. I think RK's are killer sans bug catchers so you can really see that big head light, and it may convince me to take the plunge and follow you into Bagger Ecstasy.
Damn I'm jealous.

That's the wife's new Explorer Limited that's kinda in the picture. My new King Ranch F-150 is next to it, but not in the picture.
I got my wife a new 883L in the same color as the Road King, also. That made it a little easier to work a deal. I told the Mrs that I'm done spendin' money for a while. Can't afford too many new things.

RE: Sorry guys.......
hey dude, thats a nice lookin scoot. sometimes I loose my mind and drool over the roadkings, someday I might pull the trigger. in the mean time I've got a 51 bagger I'm workin on gettin on the road for the first time since 84'. so I guess that one will be it for me. other than that I'm attached at the hip to my NT.
