That first time Harley Davidson owner feeling is great isn't it? I tell you, it just doesn't go away. All the more with a brand spanking new one lucky you.

110% agree. As much as a pain in the *** it is to have to fill it up everytime I ride it looks great. Get a solo bag that has a small gas bottle on the side to make sure you have extra to make it where you want to go.

Nice choice, but we need some pics. What color? I have yet to see the gold metalflake in the wild.

Sweet...I've had my Sportster Iron 883 for about a week already. I also came from riding a crotch rocket...this is a 100% way better...I don't know about you, but I like to sit on my bike for awhile before I go to bed LOL, I didn't even do that when I first got my sportbike 6 years ago! Still looking around and deciding what to do as far as customizing. Maybe 12" apes...but I like how the stock drag bars feel. I also love the black denim finish...

Sorry guys, work has kept me busy. I have tomorrow off and will get up pics. The bike is vivid black. I don't like flashy stuff so gold was not an option. They had one at the dealership and it was way too gaudy for my taste.
