Default New Toy.

Just picked it up from Nashua HD. Happy with the attitude and service so far. I was somewhat surprised that they didn't push the extended warranties at all. Just get back to them before the two year standard warranty expires.

After riding a GL1500 series Goldwing I was surprised how nicely it handles. Of course the shacking at idle was expected but it smooths out nicely off idle. Sounds a bit louder than I expected. I can't hear a fifth gear whine (is an 09) but with all the other sounds I'm probably missing it. I have to sit down and read the manual. I can barely change the radio channel.

Congrats I went from riding imports for 30+ years to a Road King and just love it. There is something very satisfying about riding a Harley, Good luck with your new ride.
