Hey there 56 PanHead,

I think I will definitely be sticking with BIG BLUE... I am 60 next year, I think not only is BIG BLUE the coolest Factory paint job ever,  but I am guessing I am back to an Ultra for good.  And where do you go after owning a CVO Ultra??  All you can do is add some goodies to it...  I am also sick of this long wait jazz, never again...  I am going back to the full monte, and if HD builds diesel or automatic or a 2 litre Ultra or something, I am going to stick with BIG BLUE until it gets here. 

At some point, you just have to realize, you are at the top of the heap, and it don't get no better... heh he.. Now the trick is to get some sleep next 5-6 days til it get here...    :nixweiss:  It is fun being a little kid in a candy shop.. heh he.
**********************************

BuckNut, good on ya Mate!  If my Blue is done on time will go on a 1200 km four day rally with the Brothers into NSW....  9 of us flying the Colours:

Cowboy, I was kind of thinking the same thing. I'm glad I pulled the trigger on Big Red. Any word on a delivery date?

Hey Guys, Thanks.....
I am glad I can still be a little kid about it all.  The anticipation reminds me of a kid before Christmas...   :bananarock:

It has left Melbourne Shipping through HD Australia.  Depending on the load, how many stops, it will be here sometime next week.  If it gets here in time for a one day prep and finally assembly from the crate and getting on what goodies they have already, and one day for me to break it in locally, then I will be off on Friday for the Run with the Brothers....  If not, OK, I will put around the area for my Birthday this weekend, it is all A-OK, either WAY...

You will know Danner, when it gets uncrated and wheeled into the Showroom, you will hear the big WOOOOO-HOOOOO in the distance... heh he..  I am going to keep this Caddilac, and if end up ordering an update some day, I will keep this BIG BLUE, so I don't have to go through this four month pain in the a$$ again.. heh he...  And the 2012 models showed me NUTTIN...

I enjoyed my Street Glide, but big wheels and small rubber, hard suspension, skinny seat, no tour pack, it really is a city street machine compared to the fat tyres, fat seat, phatt air suspension, auto locking boxes and Tour Pack, and all the rest like heated grips and seat, makes the decision simple for me going back to an Ultra at 59 y.o....  You Guys might not think of it, but it is the DEAD frost of winter here in Oz, 4-6 degrees C at night so down to about 35-40 and frosty inland colder.   Me and BIG BLUE, are goin to stick like SUPER GLUE.. heh he..

congrats Cowboy !!  You are making me remember the excited feeling of the new bike coming into the dealership and I thank you for sharing your excitement.  It is great in this life to have that kid at Christmas feeling , esp. at the advanced age of mmnff.  Ride safe and break her in like you're in love with BigBlue.  :-* har.  :drink: spyder

Hello from DOWN UNDER, Brothers...  Today it is THE TOP OF THE WORLD...

BIG BLUE IS ON THE RACK (hoist) getting customized to suit the lone Ranger down here... heh he..  

There are some interesting difference in the International Version, I can tell you.  I will post pictures for you on various Topics, you may find of interest..
Am going a lot of toys, LED Headlights and Passing Lights, roos bounding in from the side of the road can ruin your whole night, so I have them turned out about 5 degrees that is not enough to ruin the look but gives about 30 yards of light on the side of the road looking for "Leapers"..

Here is a new one for you,
My Tour pack lights do not have the side lights and only a chrome strip insert...  I will try not to bore you all with too many pictures... Getting the cat gutted, getting Monster Ovals to start with, chrome bits, LED Windscreen trim with indicators built in, HD wind buffet screen, and more... Going stupid over the top!!...    Opps   :nixweiss: In American lingo that means means going crazy over it, like over the moon...

Here is what they look like loaded up, brakes on, is that the same as the American version?  That is not me in the picture below, HD Mechanic...
