Carol and I picked up the bike we rented.  It was raining a good bit when we took the shuttle from the hotel to the dealership.  Jamie is a very nice young woman who waited on us.  She explained all the legalese as she one by one put the mountain of papers in front of us to sign.  Finally, the bike was brought around to the front of the building.

It is what Harley calls pearl black.  Very pretty.  Jamie went through all the functions of the bike except for the radio, intercom, & CB.  After much playing around, I still have not mastered this electronic quagmire.  Oh, well.  Maybe tomorrow.

This bike is quite different in feel from mine.  All the controls are located slightly differently and the feel of the clutch is alien.
After a day of riding it, I was getting more used to it and more smooth. Later, I was much more comfortable.
Carol was very patient with my initial lurching and jerking.

When Carol and I got to the other dealership, Rhonda, Garron, James, Ross, and Randy were already finished with all their processing.  Ross was quick to figure out his radio and had it playing loudly for all of us to hear.
Garron and I have still not figured out how to make the radio or intercom to work.  Sigh.

Mostly, in the RnR HoF they would not let us take our cameras.  So, fewer photos there than we would have liked.
