Newbie - Sort of.....
Hi all,
After two years of hanging out here I finally felt I could sign up. I feel like I already know some of you - from the knowledgeable helpful to the smart a$$.
I bought my first bike >30 years ago, took a gal out on a first date on a Yamaha Venture, a month later we were taking road trips, we have been married over 24 years now. Sold it when the kids came along, but vowed to own a Harley some day. That day was the 11th when a dealer (actually the third one I tried) accepted my offer ($3,200 off MSRP) on a Vivid Black 2012 FLHTK.
My first trip to the dealer since buying it has been to pick up a shop manual as I am about ready for my 1,000 mile service and expect to do the 5,000 before I put it away for the winter. This winter should bring a de-catting, Vied's, some creature comforts, a lift table and maybe a color modification
Thanks to everyone for knowledge and humor

Thanks everyone
Kris, I can gladly say I am not a pro sports fan - and thanks for your thread about taking your son for a ride (these bumps are piston me off - I think it was called). I rented a limited in June and took my 10 year old for a ride - two days and 560 miles later she wanted to keep going. I also rented a Road Glide Ultra and did 1100 miles in 3 days - part with the better half and part with my 15 year old.
