I have just had my local dealer ride off on my FXFD Fat bob....sad day. But the good news is that I pick-up my 2011 FLHR Road King (merlot and black) 103 cubic inch bike on Wednesday from the same dealer.

Looking forward to doing trips in comfort, I will post pictures some time after Wednesday.

Cheers

That sounds like a terrible idea...







That's like four days with no Harley. Unacceptable. He should've let you keep the other bike till Wednesday.

Seriously though - I think you're going to love it. A fine choice.

Same thing happened to me. Traded my 00 Sportster S in on a 08 Fatbob. Was without any bike for 30 hours. A few beer's helped.

Are you getting it from Trivett HD? I got a T-shirt from there a couple years ago. I'd love to come down and rent a Harley and take a ride with you.

Good on ya, mate.

Congrats on the new ride. I think you will love that color. I have had several people comment on how they liked the color of my bike. The 103" is a nice improvement in power too.
