As I'm getting to know the bike I'm sure I'll be posting up questions so take it easy on me if I ask the obvious...haha

Welcome from downstate IL. If you ever want to get out of Cook County ride 300 miles south and I'll buy you a beer.

Post some pictures of that new King.

Thanks all....I'll try to get some pics up soon after I snap some this weekend. Regarding down state IL, I went to school at SIU and love the area. I'm originally from Paducah, KY and plan to ride down hopefully in the next month or so.

Tonight I'm just mourning the end of the Blackhawks season

You selected well.

That's a great bike for enjoying Lake Shore Drive, the city streets, and all the rest.

Welcome.
