Default New harley owner

Well, she finally came home today. There was a little bit of a hang-up with a key issue at the dealer, but otherwise everything went smooth as butter. Well all except for mother nature. Some days I really don't think she likes me much. This was my only day I could pick her up and unfortunately ole mother wasn't satisfied for just raining on my parade. But, My New 2005 Ultra Classic Electra Glide is home and safe. I snapped a few cell pics on a stop most of the way home to remove some ice from the windshield. Yes, ICE! lol I'll post more appropriate pics once the weather clears up enough to get some. I'll be back with plenty of questions soon enough as well.

Mike

Good color, is that black cherry? Sorry bout the crappy weather. Looks nasty in the pics. Not to mention all the fun cleaning you get now. It's always easier with a new bike though.

Nice looking bike! Great to see a biker that rides when things are not perfect. Welcome brother. Smile for the posers and the rubs.

Congrats on the new ride, looks sweet. I have that weather going on right now. Looks like the riding season is almost over here in New Hampshire. Ride safe.
