Default Hello from Central NY

Hi. New guy checking in from snowy Cortland, NY (30 miles south of Syracuse).

New owner of a black 2005 FLHRCI. Hope to learn a lot here. Thanks for having me.

Thanks for the warm welcome. Yes, the snow is getting old quickly. This week's storm will be pretty tough to take.

Here are some photos I took last night after she was delivered.

and you're not out sitting on your scoot making "Vroom-Vroom" sounds?

Very nice indeed.

Enjoy the forums.

I did the "vroom" thing last night. This morning my voice is gone!

I got the bike from Harding's HD in Corning. They were recommended to me by a friend and they had a great deal going on a no trade purchase. MSRP on the bike and 500 off Freight and Set-up. Then he threw in an $800 gift certificate on accessories that sealed the deal. That totals out to $1,300 off what the other local dealers were offering.

The salesman, Rick Mainville was great. No BS, no pressure and he had answers to all of our questions. This bike is exactly what we were looking for when we stopped down. As fate would have it, it was just un-crated. They threw it together for us and once we started it up, we were sold. They even delivered it, no charge, and it's about 1.5 hours from there to here. All in all, I am very satisfied with them and the bike.

Hope to see some of you on the road this year.

Again, thanks for the warm welcome.
