Default New Deluxe

[8D] This is my first post. I just rode my 05 Deluxe home yesterday and I am still grinning! I have not ridden in 25 years and although the first few blocks were scary, after 2 miles it felt just like 25 years ago. This morning I woke up and went straight to the garage (just like when you got your first car) just to make sure it was as nice as I remembered. I have been reading this site for weeks and am honored to finally be able to speak. Thanks for allowing a forum for Q&A, I am sure I will have lots of questions (as soon as the grin wears off).
