Default Hey!

Just signed up. Have money down on my first Harley, an '02 Pearl White Road King. Hoping they get the detail and service done in the next few days so I can pick it up. I've been reading a lot here in the past few weeks while I was looking and found a lot of helpful information for making my decision. I'll post some pics and my initial impressions once I get the bike. Not my first bike. Rode a Suzuki GS500 back in the '90's, then went to a Yamaha V-Star Classic in '99. Got rid of it around '04. A buddy brought his Ultra Glide over a few weeks ago and it got me going again.
