I got word today that my FLHT, which I ordered in early October, arrived at the dealership yesterday afternoon, so we're going to go check it out tomorrow morning. That's the good news. The bad news is that the bike's paperwork hasn't arrived yet, so I won't be able to take possession until next week unless the documentation happens to show up in tomorrow's mail. In either case, I'm taking my camera and will post a few pics when I have them. I ordered it in Pacific Blue Pearl with ABS and cruise control. It was a frigid 5 degrees this morning, but it's supposed to get up into the mid-50s next week. With any luck, I should be riding it soon!

I am happy for you. CONGRADS!!!! Remember to keep the Shiney side up and Black side down!!!!

What's the paperwork the dealership is still waiting for?
Well, I don't know what all is included in the packet, but the bike's certificate of origin is the most important document needed. H-D doesn't ship the certificates of origin, which are needed to title/register a new ride, with the bikes themselves for obvious security reasons. Instead, they mail the paperwork. I'm told that sometimes the documentation for a particular bike will arrive a day or two before the bike and sometimes a few days afterwards. In any case, my dealer said he's never seen it show up more than a week after the bike's arrival.

Thanks for the all the congrats!


gabhart: Hi! No, I wish I could have kept it, but I couldn't swing two new bikes. Yeah, I guess I was thinking about the fact that I couldn't take the bike home while I was sitting on it. I look pretty somber, don't I?
