Default Finally, the King

Looks like I will be in the saddle of a '12 RK by this weekend, midnight pearl w/cruise. The dealer I bought from had to do a transfer, but everything should be primed and ready by Friday to complete the deal. Hopefully I'll get some pictures up soon.

This is the longest week ever

The color looks like a real deep dark blue grey with metal flake in it. Indoors it looks like a shiny black, but in the sun really brings out the depth. Best way to tell the difference is to compare it with the frame. IMHO the best color offered among the four standard schemes available, but I'm slightly biased

Found a picture of one (not mine)
