Talking New Owner

First time poster, loooooong time lurker. Just signed paperwork on a gently used (900 miles) 2011 Road King. Pick her up Thursday morning after the dealer inspection and a bath. Very excited as this is first Harley. Look forward to dropping entirely too much money on shiny things.

congrats and welcome to the forum.

don't say "drop".


hope you are up on riding skills ( if not, take a course) and practice ( I do a refresher at the high school lot any time I have been off the bike for a while.)


Enjoy, Mike

Fixed it for you. Congrats on the bike.

To post pics, download them to Photobucket. Once that is done, below each picture will be several links. Copy the "img" link and then paste in your posts here. For other internet pictures, just right click on the picture then left click on the "view image info". A box will appear with the link already highlighted. Copy it and then paste in your posts.

Think you have to have at least 10 posts to view and post pictures. Find other posts and make quick simple replies and you be able to post and view. I read a lot too but seldom post.
