Welcome from Frederick, MD! I bought mine almost two hours away and it rained on me most of the way home too. Drenched and cold but that big a$$ grin never faded.
Congrats and see ya around!

Thanks everyone. I got the wife out for a ride on the back of the bike yesterday. I think she enjoyed it ALMOST as much as I did.

Well, congratulations, and "welcome home".

Hope you can find a way to keep the VTX...damn good machine. You ill lose your *** when you sell it (unfortunately).

I made my way to Harley in 2005, and love it! I have STILL had some others brands while having H/D at the same time, but I sold them all off and have pretty much went "all in" with Harley Davidson. The Jap stuff I like is 40+ years old now.

Harley....just works for me.

Ride safe and welcome.
