Bought a Road King last summer. First bike in 12 years. Only test rode it around the dealer's lot. I was nervous as a ***** in church pulling out into traffic.

A lot of dealers will deliver a bike at no charge just because of nervous riders. I know a guy that worked at a couple of Harley dealerships. He has plenty of stories of guys dumping their brand new bikes in the parking lot. There always seems to be an audience when someone is picking up a new bike.

I'm not picking mine up for about two more weeks, and I'm already a little nervous. Might be something to do with a three hour ride home on the British roads.

The night I picked mine up they had a big party for a charity ride going on the next day the place was packed, then they take your picture and have you ring a bell and everyone cheers for you then you get to ride out. talk about pressure

Nervous?...&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;for about a&nbsp\\;second, then I shift into second for the 1st time and said "this is awesome".&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; I hadn't ridden in about 6 years, but don't worry, it will all come back to you.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Just take your time, don't be in a rush.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Congrats on your new ride.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;
