Default Sunshine the King
My V-rod got a big brother today. He's 735lbs and 6oz, 93.7" in length. I shall name him Sunshine.

The ride home was excellent. I took the long way home, and put about 80 miles on him before the Superbowl kicked off. First dry day in Oregon in months, even saw the glowing yellow orb in the sky that I've seen some of you call 'the sun'. The bike is fantastic, like a couch on wheels.

Sweet looking Road King! We also had a great weekend weather-wise here in NorCal (Stockton). I rode in the Chinese New Year Parade with some of fellow HOG members. It started out sprinkilng early in the morning but by about 10:30 the sun was shining. Have fun on your new rig!!
