Default Finally did it

Well, I have always wanted a Harley. I finally decided it was time. I pick up my Black Pearl Road Glide on Saturday. The deals on the 2006's were just too good to wait any longer. My cousin has a Road Glide and I love the way it rides and handles so now I will have me own.

I added Screamin Eagle pipes (I was unsure of what I really wanted but these pass NH inspection) a high flow air cleaner, lower windshield (tinted) and a download.

I can't wait until Saturday!

Thanks all, I am very active in some car boards so I know the value of the forums and real life experience.

I will post pictures after I pick it up tomorrow morning.

I can't wait, I feel like a teenager again!

The same as I felt when I was waiting to pick up my Camaro SS and then my Corvette Z06.

I still have the Camaro but unfortunately had to sell the Z06.
