Enjoy your new ride Mark and don't forget to pick up a service manual too!
The FLHR series is a great choice and I don't think you'll be disappointed over the long haul...

Mark - starting your vacation on Friday? Dude - you should have started it today - you will be worthless at work this week daydreaming about your new ride. don't get fired!
I haven't been worth a crap ever since I ordered the bike. Just got back from the dealership, bike will be ready at 5:00. After a "typographical error" on the price, I walked away with a nice gift card (actually, my wife did) she is buying some bling for her scoot. Your right, I won't be worth crap for the next two days...lmao...........

I love mine! Gives you that traditional look with the White Walls and the buckle bags.

I was where you are a year ago. My 08 Road King is the BEST HD I've ever ridden. Let's put it this way, at 80mph on the BlueGrass Pkwy with foot pegs deployed I felt like I was sitting on my couch at home. After a 160 miles jaunt, I had NO road fatigue. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy!!!

Congrats - I got mine about a month ago and have only managed to ride 2,100 miles. But, the summer is just beginning and there are miles and miles of road that need our collective inspection. Having owned and love a dyna, and still do, the RKC is going to be something you'll ride and ride and ride and get off feeling good, just may have a few bugs in your teeth.
