Namaste, I see you got the same color combo I had when I the 1700 Thunderbird. I am riding a Rocket III Touring now (also red and black...2014) but I do have great memories of my time with the T-bird. I had two 2,600 miles trips on it and it ran like a champ.
Then I bought a 2012 HD Road Glide Ultra...had it for about 16 months...now I am back on a Triumph...need I say more...at least I got the Harley thing out of my blood but it was an expensive lesson that I hopefully will never repeat (unless I become a millionaire and just want to have a variety of bikes to ride).
Good luck with it and I hope it gives you many great times.
Dennis
