Default New FLHX

I finally bought my first Harley on Saturday. A new to me 2008 FLHX Dark Blue Pearl. It is my first bike since 1984, and I have been waiting for another bike all that time. I can hardly wait to take my first ride on it! The bad news is that I can't even pick it up untill the weather clears up. We have had snow every day for a week, and it looks like we are getting more. I have attached a couple of pics of my yard. They were taken yesterday morning, and we have had at least another 6" since then!

Dude...sweep the snow off that hot tub, fill it with a couple chicks and line the patio table with whiskey and I'll come on over and enjoy a New Years party in BC. Congrats on the new bike too!

Congrats on the new scoot! I'm in a similar situation, got my bike the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and she hasn't been out of the garage yet due to snow, ice, rain, and more snow, ice and later this week - rain!
