Default New Deluxe Owner!!!

Hi Folks-
&nbsp\\;
First time posting in the softail forums for me.&nbsp\\; I just yesterday traded in my 06 883L / 1200 conversion on a brand new 08 deluxe in white gold pearl / pewter pearl!!!!!!
&nbsp\\;
I am to the moon right now!!!&nbsp\\; I fell in love with this bike when I rented one in daytona this past year.&nbsp\\; It was, in my opinion, my dream bike.
&nbsp\\;
Anyway, I bought it at manchester hd in New Hampshire and they gave me a ton of money for my trade in.&nbsp\\; significantly more than I would have been able to sell it on the private market.&nbsp\\; They treated me very well and it was a deal that I could not say no to.
&nbsp\\;
I pick it up on saturday and can barely contain my enthusiasm!!!
&nbsp\\;
Rob

Congrats mate.....I'm soooooo jealous, as last Sunday I just missed out (by just half an hour) on getting the very last new white gold pearl/pewter pearl '08 Deluxe left in the UK.
&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
I was totally gutted.......
