Default Hello, from your newest convert....

Well, as of today at 5:55pm, I became the proud new owner of a 2013 110th Anniversary Road King. Bronze medallion and all. I was out riding with a group of buddy's, and I just decided it was time for a bigger motorcycle. So I headed over to the dealer and traded in my 2005 Anniversary Fat Boy, on this beautiful new Road King. Other than old FLH Shovels, this is my first touring class Harley. Me and the wife looked at, and sat on just about every bike in that dealership and I am convinced, this was the right choice for me. I was figuring that a Road Glide was what I wanted, but they just didn't do it for me. And since I don't even listen to the radio in my car, I just didn't see the need for that big fairing. I really like how the Road Kings look when you snap off the windshields as well. Anyhow, as the Softail guys can attest, I will have a million questions and a laundry list of mods I have planned for this girl, so please allow me to post up a few pics so I have a good starting point when the customizing begins.

Sitting on the dealer floor:

The Anniversary stuff:

Thanks for the welcome guys. I just need to do some research and find out what all 110th Anniversary even means. Is it just a color, with bronze tank emblems, or is there more to it. I guess I will have to start asking questions at some point. But I have 60 months to ask them.... LOL!
