Got a new bike too!

Just like G-MAN, I took advantage of H-D's promotional offer to trade in my '08 Sportster...

on something a little bigger.

Picked-up the Road King yesterday afternoon and got in a nice, leisurely 72 mile ride back to my home. The weather got pretty bad, so I didn't get any decent photos to post because of the gray skies. Maybe later this week.

(though I like the sporty too)

Enjoy and be SAFE!

Very nice. I think you will enjoy the new bagger.

Very nice ride. But I have to tell you, the Super Glide is Harley's real "Road King."

Awesome King! That will be my next bike for sure. I want to build a street monster custom RK that is stripped with no bags or windshield and tons of chrome....kind of like a King-Bobber

Thanks!

Actually, the Super Glide made my short-list of bikes considered. My brother-in-law has an '06 and it's an awesome ride.

I have similar customizing plans. The King already rolls on a set of 2009 FLHX wheels and will be be slightly de-chromed. I saw an '07 FLHRS last summer that had the chopped, smoked windscreen and really liked the looks of it.

NICE Sportster, but........Aaaaaaahhhhhh. Road King. Nice touring bike.

[GMBoy]

Good move. Rarely does anyone stay with a Sportster for too long. Enjoy!

 

[Chris B.]

I had the Sportster exactly 6 months and 4 days and put 8,120 miles on her in that time. It was with some misgivings that I traded her in. Too bad I couldn't have both!

Yeah, I know...I traded my Sporty on a LowRider. Hated to see it go because it was fun BUT...I was suffering from lackafunds disease....

THAT said...you are going to love the RK. You won't get tired of it at all.

That's a nice looking bike...

Yep, thumbs up on the Road King...I went from my first Harley of a '96 1200 Sportster Sport to a '97 Road King and I'm still riding it. A good friend of mine started out with a '07 V Rod and after it staying in the shop more than on the road, he got credit for it and got a '08 Road King, he misses the quickness of the V Rod but the Road King has been all riding pleasure and no shop time and his wife enjoys the ride much more too, as a matter of fact, she picked it out and I naturally encouraged him to get it as well.

Safe riding,
