Talking Traded my "crotch rocket" in for a Harley : )

Hey everyone! so i traded my 2006 Honda 600rr in on saturday, for a 2007 vivid black Street Bob. it has forward controls, thunder header exhaust, and black bars. I pick it up in 2 weeks, and i swear, its going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life. The dealer i bought it from is doing a full service on it, including replacing the tires and brakes. For those of you in my area of VA, you might have heard of the place, its called Classic Iron in Dumfries VA. Great group of people, actually have known some of them for awhile, then i finally bought a bike from them. Anyway, i cant wait to start riding, and im even more excited to elarn about the new bike here on the forum, and what littel thins i can do to it to make it "my own". ive been reading a lot of stickies, so hopefully i wont be asking TOO many newb questions. Any up front tips or advice is GREATLY appreciated. i have some rough cell phone pics ill try to post tonight at home.

FYI: just a littel personal info on my self, name is jonathan, im 23, live and work in northern VA, the street bob is my 3rd bike but first harley. 1st was a '82 yamaha virago 750, bought it in HS and thats what i learned to ride on. 2nd was the Honda, bought it in june of '06, and racked up 14000 miles.
