Pulled out of Danbury HD/Buell today with a smile that still has not gone away. My credit is not up to standards so my mother came in to co-sign the finance for me and even she was having a good time just being there. I don't recall ever having such a cool/fun experience while picking up a big ticket item like this, even after just coming out of a lease term on an Audi S4.

a couple of BadWeatherBikers were there and went above and beyond in being friendly and willing to give input. Bill even took me out for nice cruise north in to Kent, Sherman and the surrounding roads.

It was tough to stop cause I just wanted to keep riding. I had to stop so I can rest up for the long day tomorrow.

I would like to thank everyone at Danbury HD/Buell for making this a very pleasant experience and I look forward to building a relationship with them.

I also want to thank all of you on this board. I lurked around for a long time before making my first post. The activity and vast library of knowledge contributed tremendously to my final decision.

btw;
much better pictures to come when I return to my computer and get comfortable riding with my camera gear!!

Congrats

Thats the color I wanted...even the model too... but I was impatient.

Nice looking ride.
Be sure to tell Moms thanks!
Now you just have to ride safe so she doesn't kick herself in the ass.

Shiny side up!

Congrats. That's the same model and color I bought 9 months ago. It has since shed its colors and tone.

You wont be disappointed, unless the weather prevents you from riding.

is sunset orange more red than orange? Is it the same color as the red firebolts or does the orange not show up in the photos that well?

It's not the same color. Sunset Orange is more orange then then the red on the firebolt.

If you look at my profile you will see the sunset orange wheels and the red of the Buell logo on the air lid that. the red is much darker but under certain lighting it can be difficult to tell (or if I don't clean my wheels)
