Default good experience so far

Got my 1st Harley a week and a half ago, 08 Ultra and love it.
The dealership seems to be quite good, Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson in Lilburn, GA.
When the salesperson asked my wife why she liked Harley, she told them because they had the most clothes. (Go figure??!!)
Had them put an extension on the Tourpak to give us more room and it worked like a charm.
Yesterday, I heard a weird clicking-chirping noise coming from the front end and went to the dealer today, fearing the worst.
The service mgr listened to it, knew what it was and fixed it. Seems the screws holding the windshield sandwiched
between the outer and inner fairings came loose. Lesson learned, gonna use Loctite.
Anyway, this is a great forum and my thanks to all posters helping each other.
That's what it's all about.

That line's from "The Day The Earth Stood Still".
Nope, she doesn't know and you'd better not tell her or else!!!
And that reminds me: Do you know the similarity between the Starship Enterprise and toilet paper?

They both go around Uranus, wiping out Klingons. (Don't ask me to explain)
