Default Way new here

I am finally the proud owner of a Lava Red 2005 Road King Custom (FI).. I had been contemplating getting a Harley for several years now, and finally (as of a few days ago) it has materialized in my garage.. 200 miles and a lot of smiles later, I love it!!

Very nice choice for your ride, of course I might be bias since I own an 02 RK. Don't forget to post pics of your ride.
