I thought that's what "AIM HIGH" meant?
hehe...
Yea...No baby steps....I'm a big boy now...
My wife was against the bike (the whole you have 2 little kids, blah blah) so in all the confusion I almost ordered a vette instead. Luckly my wife said it's nuts to pay that much for a car.
So now I tell her that I saved us $30,000 by ordering the SE RK...
She didn't have a comeback - thank god.
After I left the dealership today it started raining pretty hard. I see a new 07 RK stardard go by the gas startion I was at (it was one of the demo bikes - must have known someone at the dealershp b/c the demo rides aren't until this weekend). Anyway, this guy rounds the corner, jams on the throttle and brings the *** end around, and the guy keeps on the throttle as if he was on a dirt flat track, rides it out and continues on. I watch him about 1/2 block down cross the rainroad tracks and it appeared that he bike caught air, still on the throttle. The new exhaust did have a nice deep roar to it under acceleration.
The best part about it was this guy must of been in his mid to late 40's, possibly into early 50's, had a decent beer belly and was wearing a silver and red motorcross helmet.
I have to give him credit though, he handles that bike like a champ.
Overall, it was quite the day.

RE: Screamin Eagle Road King
I had my heart set on Black Ice but after seeing the blue I may change my mind.
Also, seems like everywhere I look there is a black bike.
To see the paint in person is really impressive. Tomorrow I'm going to demo it (Demo tour at my local dealer).
HD released the Red SE's first, next are the blues (should be here next week) and then finally the blacks (probably in another couple months)
The sales lady also called me today to let me know I'm #1 on the list now. The chick ahead of me ended up buying a different 07.
I'll try to get some good pics tomorrow at the demo.

RE: Screamin Eagle Road King
Doc,
Glad to see that I am not the only one who has dealt with the 2 small children issue. Congrats on the CVO Road King. What a way to start out. I worked hard and was lucky to have my Road King as my first and only street bike. It kind of ruins you for any other bike made unless your heart is set on a custom built bike.
