Default Right choice?

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum and based on what I've been reading, its the right place for me. I've completed the basic MSF course...excellent by the way, and purchased a brand spanking new 2009 Harley-Davidson Road King Classic! I just hope it was the right choice for my first bike. Any opinions?
