Congrats. Pay attention to how many people give it double takes and then a good long stare. I had a guy on a GW do a wobble in traffic after his double take. You'll see.

Alright fellow dark-siders, just finalized my deal and put the deposit down on my new Road Glide I pick it up next Saturday, I will post pictures after delivery

I am sure it was not the best deal possible, but close enough to what I was willing to pay. Besides, I was getting burned out messing with the dealers. The last thing I wanted was to end up upset over a deal and not enjoy the bike after I got it.

Hope to see ya on the road.

Congratulations on the new RG. Have had my Red Hot Sunglo '09 RG (10th bike 1st Harley) since mid February and learning that adding bling is a real "sickness".

Current "sickness" includes Heritage handle bars power coated black, black mirrors, solid black grips, power coated front end uppers and lowers gloss black, gloss black engine guard, Rinehart True Duals w/black tips, Power Commander V w/Auto Tune, K&N Air Filter, C & C solo seat in black leather with shark insets and red thread, spun aluminum gauges, additional lights and some more. Darn if I don't still have a wish list.

I'm glad my wife understands my "sickness".
