Default It's here !!
Hi everyone - newbie here.

I picked up an '06 1200C in January (first HD), and has been in storage at the dealer until this week.
They delivered it today - and I'm effin' psyched.

Now i'm waiting for some riding weather - it's supposed to be 45 on Friday.

gotta go now - putting down the sleeping bag next to my ride...

Congratulations!! Can't imagine waiting that long. I just purchased a 2004 883 this past weekend and it is still sitting at the dealers because the weather is not good enough to get it home. It will have to sit for another 2 weeks till i can get back down to the dealership because I am scheduled to work this coming weekend. It's driving me crazy.

There's nothing like getting it home and in the garage, but it's even better taking it out for that first ride...congrats and enjoy.

Your bike looks like it is ready to hit the road 2up and pack up. I'll be curious to here how you like the windshield.
