  @Seakers It took me a minute to realize what you were talking about LOL. No, my carry weapon is a Glock G19, which is their 9mm compact model. The .45 compact is the G38.  And thanks for the compliment.
  
  @BOOF Thank you. She's the fourth bike I've bought since 2009 in my search for my "perfect ride". I would like to add a blackline softail and a hayabusa to tool around on when the mood strikes me, but for my primary rider, the Road Glide shows a lot of promise for being "the one". I had the gunships put on there a couple months ago...these things are WAY too entertaining to watch haha!
  
  Anyone have any rally plans for this coming season?

  Wow!  Great bikes y'all!  As AzRider said, it's pretty awesome to see some everyday riders in which their owners take pride! 
  
  Well let me add one to the stack!  I hope you like her as much as I do!
  
  This is Black Betty (Bam-a-lam!).
  
  She is a 2012 Road Glide Custom.  Corbin Hollywood Solo Seat in Tan Leather, Stage I Ventilator with Tailgunner Rotary Cannon Exhaust (the exhaust makes them rotate!), 14-inch Wild 1 Chubby Outlawz Handlebars, 12-inch Klockwerks windshield, Harley Lower Fairings.
  
  She's still dressed up a little from the holidays with jingle bells and red ribbon hung from the handlebars.  (Jingle all the way!)
  
  Purchased 16OCT11...just under 3,500 miles so far.
  
  Thanks for looking.

  Wow. Thanks for all the great replies.
  
  @Jimmyacorn Laconia looks awesome. June is a great time for long trips and it may mean tolerable weather up there heheh. We'll definitely have to check that one out. Amusing that you mentioned 1974...before I sold my dad a Honda when I moved to Harley's, last time he'd ridden was 1974...but I digress.
  
  @Lucky I'd heard that Daytona and Sturgis are both crowded as all get out. We're going to try to make Biketoberfest down there, as well. I've heard some great things about that...especially since it's a little less crowded than Bike Week down there. Sturgis I've heard (and can see from the pictures) is pretty much universally crowded. Worth experiencing though. Our thoughts were to stay right in the thick of it first time we go, since we've never been and it's all new and oo-ah. Angel City sounds totally fun...but we'll be out of the country through April. We'll have to schedule that one for 2013.
  
  @SolarBill Americade sounds fun. I think we have June free...we'll have to put that one on the schedule. I've heard of the trail of tears...never knew much about it. Will have to check that one out. Pretty convenient location wise, so can't argue there.
  
  @Kingbiscuit Oh we will DEFINITELY have to hit Lone Star...those are my true home stomping grounds. Born and raised in Austin and been to Galveston a number of times. New Orleans would be pretty fun too...will have to read up on that one more.
  
  Thanks for all the great info, y'all. Much appreciated.

  Hey y'all.  Veteran biker but newb to the rally circuit.  Changing that for the coming season.  Planning on hitting Daytona and Sturgis at the least.  Anyone know of other rallies that I shouldn't miss?  Also, I'm looking for peeps to meet at or en-route to the rally.  I'm riding from Atlanta GA to give you an idea of where I'd be coming from.
  
  Also any input about what to expect / etc. would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Thanks;

  Hey Everyone, and Merry Christmas Eve's Eve!  Just joined a couple days ago from Atlanta, Georgia!  Been browsing around the site, seeing what's up.  Pretty neat so far.  Girlfriend and I ride everywhere, but don't ride with other people very often...mostly due to not knowing very many people who ride.  We try to corrupt our friends but with little success.  Anyone who wants to hook up at a rally or ride together up at Deal's Gap or Blue Ridge Parkway, or wherever else, hit me up and say hello.
