Overdue Newbie from Huntsville, AL
Apologies for not doing this earlier. Been riding since 1993, all on Hondas until now. Grew up watching motorcycle racing highlights on TV (anyone remember MotorWeek Illustrated every Sunday PM on TBS?) Watching guys like Freddie Spencer, Eddie Lawson, Bubba Shobert, Wayne Rainey, and Kevin Schwantz got me hooked on bikes.
Didn't really "get" cruisers until I had a 2nd Gen V-4 Magna in 1994. Wanted one of the "New" Harley Road Kings, but wasn't in the budget.
Kept reading the mags and watching the updates and changes to the RKs. Finally, in 2003, me and two buddies from Ft. Huachuca, AZ rented three bikes from H-D of Tucson for the weekend. One had a Night Train, the other a Springer. I got the RKC. Best two days I've ever had on a motorcycle.
Went back to sportbikes for a few years, but couldn't get the RK off my mind. This year, everything finally came together and I picked up an '07 FLHP Road King Police (former Harris County, TX Sheriff's Dept.) I haven't stopped smiling yet.
