Default New Guy from Hawaii

Hello all,

Glad I found this forum. My name is Paul, I'm in the Navy stationed at Pearl Harbor and I just bought a 2005 Road King Custom. Here are some pics of my new bike.














.....and my new shifter pegs:

Hey Paul, welcome aboard! I've been in Hawaii a few times, and went diving just outside of Pearl Harbour. Saw the Japanese fighter on the bottom, and have a bullett that I found at 90 feet in a display cabinet. You are a lucky man.

Yes, thats my first Harley. Before that, I owned a 1999 Honda Shadow 600 and a 2000 Honda Magna 750.
