Cheers fellows. I bought my first Harley today. For any who have seen my posts - I rode up to the Bristol night race in August with some friends (on one of my friend's RK Classic). I LOVED it. I started looking for a bike the minute we got back and finally decided on a Fat Boy. I bought a 2009 with the Black Ice / Blue Ice paint. I bought the reaper wheels, sprocket, and brake rotors and they are on order. The dealer gave me a credit on the factory chrome wheels so I can't ride it until they change the wheels next week. Shoud be able to pick up the bike Teusday or Wednesday. Woooohheeee.
In addition I got a deed in the mail today. On the same trip to Bristol one of my best friends over the last 15 years and a Jack Daniels Tennesse Squire nominated me to be a Squire. I was accepted and was deeded one square foot of land in Lynchburg, TN. Time for a road trip. I am filling up my tank and buying some toothpicks - cause I am going to be doing some fencing.
I am now a new Harley owner and a Jack Daniels Tennesse Squire. Don't know how today can get much better, but Hey....my wife isn't home yet.
I will post pics when I pick up the bike. Thanks to all who offered advice and suggestions. It is good to be part of the group.

thanks PT. Congrats back at you! I am pretty sure it doesn't matter but I intend to go through my break in period then add air cleaner and Big Shot Staggered's (with quiet baffles). Still undecided about the dealer remap or a tuner (TTS, PCV. etc.) The more I read, the more my head spins....
Congrats on the new ride,and becoming a land owner in Lynchburg.If you are going to fence in your new found property,use the flat toothpicks..and of course you can use the round ones for the Log Cabin.Be safe
