Hello from Atlanta
I am a (very happy) Street Bob owner as of this week. It is the first HD that I have ever ridden let alone owned. It is absolutely amazing to ride that bike. I put down a deposit and waited a grueling 5 weeks (I know that this is nothing compared to what some of you have waited) for a previously scheduled shipment in back denim.
I promise to post images soon. I am having trouble getting off of the bike when I have free time and subsequently have not taken any photos yet. The motorcycle is still completely stock and looks exactly like the pictures on h-d.com. Perhaps I can shave a bar and shield emblem into the dog and pose her next to the dyna for a few shots... My wife might not like that. Perhaps I can photograph myself on the bike with both a blackened eye and a custom shaved dog in my lap.
Do all Harleys handle as smoothly and have such a solid feel to their controls? It just feels right. Very natural. I am glad that I have the full-faced helmet to hide my permanent grin while riding. Folks might not understand. I hope I never get used to it.

RE: Hello from Atlanta
I hear you about the solid feeling controls. I have rode a couple metrics this summer and the clutch and brake levers are thin and dinky compared to a Harley. I had my levers changed to the chrome ones and they seem to be wider and even more solid feeling. The upgrade to braided lines improved the feel as well.
