The second time was "Oh sh$t, just let it go man, let it go". LOL

You are gonna love the bike.

Same here, there is no whipping the bagger around the garage to get it in or out. One other thing I had to learn quickly is to keep the front wheel strait when you come to a stop. You don't notice how much a turned front wheel will pull you down until you get on a big bike.

Yeah, I dumped my King twice the first week I bought it, just rolled onto the crash bars. Since we weren't moving there weren't even any scratches luckily.

Enjoy the ride.
