i appreciate that advice. Controlling this beast is definitely much different than zipping around on my sporty.

Nice bike.
Charron ave, exactly. I assume you’re from here. I figured if I was a good spot to watch planes land, it would be a good spot to stop and snap a few pics.

Thanks. I really like that blacked out Road King Special. My dealer had on like that as well and it was close. 51-49 decision.

You’re right about black Bubba. My wife said the same thing. I actually love the hot red candy flake but the fact that my dealer didn’t have one saved me the additional $3,000. I kinda like the anniversary blue denim as well, but absolutely none around. The other colors just didn’t do it for me. The dealer had two left to sell before the 19’s. One black and one twisted cherry. The “deal” was on one of those. You can never go wrong with black. I have a brown leather riding jacket, so that’s way different!

don't worry, you'll get used to it in no time at all. With that said, i don't mind jumping on my brother's sporty from time to time, and taking it for a spirited ride. It feels like half the bike as mine.

Great looking bike! How did you convince the dealer to illegally install the Slimline Duals? You are now catless, and the dealer did it? Just curious.
