Default Hello From Omaha

Hi guys and gals.
New rider here. I have been lurking since I got my bike in December.
02 RoadKing Classic.
This is my first big bike. I had a few metrics over the years back in my younger days the biggest was a k650 so this is a pretty big change for me.
I hope to get out for a few hours today. Its cloudy and in the 40's here.
I went out yesterday and ended up riding home in the dark and a light rain.

I have a buddy that works as a mechanic at one of the local dealers in town. Back in December I stopped in to shoot the breeze with him and ended up walking out with the title to the Roadking a few hours later. They were hungry to sell something and it didnt take much arm twisting to get it done.
Its got about 20k on it and looks like it just came off the showroom floor...which it id.
My plan is to have it completly worn out before the next snow fall.

I dont think I can post pics yet so I will try to link to one.
