Congrats! You have just made a lot of people you work with jealous; can't really get any nicer Christams present than a new bike!

Thanks.
I'll agree with you on that one with the biking world.
But coming home this time last year after being gone for 2 years due to military deployments still ranks up there.

Thank you for your service!

Good job Bill, you will liek riding the ugliest HD ever made, great color though. There is a special hand shake your suppose to learn now hehe.

I knew you would end up hanging in the touring section but I am a little suprised at the speed that you did it. I have to warn you though, you think you have everything you need now but as you read this section you will realize that you have a blank canvas and there are a whole lot more things that need to be done and changed on the bike. Be careful, this is very expensive now, there is a reason that the touring section of the PA book is half the book. Good job man, enjoy that machine its a good one. Hope to see ya soon soon enough buddy.

Guess it's gonna take me some time to get comfortable with this new one. Wish I had gotten one like this from the beginning like many people tried to tell me. But I didn't really know what I was getting myself into, nor how obsessive it would be. Now I wish I had started riding sooner.
