Default new 06 roadking custom

Hello everybody,
I finally listened to my riding buddies and sold my Triumph and bought a new Harley today (06 roadking custom)... Boy I couldn't be madder! I left the dealership astride and was ready to enjoy the ride (hey that ryemes) I got about a mile from my house when the speedo and odometer stopped working and the engine & ignition lights came on. After I shut the bike off the speedo light and ignition/engine lights stayed on. I called my dealer and they promptly sent a truck to get it. Anyways I checked the tech section and it looks like a wiring harness problem so maybe they can get it fixed. Now it's a beutiful day and I'm on the internet instead of riding. I don't mean to be negative but I'm not too thrilled with my BRAND NEW HD right now.

Damn that sux. What a way to start. Hope the dealership pays for all your troubles. I'd see if they'd give you a free part or something too.
