Default Love My New FLHR

Brought my new '09 Road King home last Wednesday. Had to do a 190 mile round trip first! The seat didn't hurt, the bike ran great, no problems. I even got the first wet riding out of the way when I hit a shower at one point. This baby is a big upgrade from my Sportster XL1200 C! I hope it doesn't snow at all this winter in NJ!
