Default Finally got it!
Hello, I've been reading the forum&nbsp\\; awhile now, but wanted to wait until I got my"Dream bike" before I posted. I"m a retired US Army First Sergeant (24 yrs), and now living in New Mexico. I signed the papers on my bike today. Vivid Black, 08 Ultra and pick it up tomorrow. My retirement gift, much better than a gold watch!

Welcome aboard.&nbsp\\; I retired from my job last year and did a similar thing - I bought myself an 07 Lowrider.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I agree - it's better than a watch.
