Default I guess I can call myself a new Harley owner

Hey guys,

So I'm over here in Afghanistan and talked to the guys at ENCS (Exchange New Car Sales) and put my order in for a '13 Street Glide. Well the loan approval came back yesterday with a pretty damn good interest rate. Now I have to wait till the end of August so that I can pick it up. I can't tell you how excited I am right now. I've been following this site for a little while now and have got some great ideas from you all. I hope to continue to hear about more great ideas.

If you have not done it, get your Motorcycle course setup for when you get back required.
Also HD will extend the warranty from the time papers are signed till you pick it up.
Enjoy the ride when you get back
