Default Another one bites the dust...

Well guys, I know I said the Dyna stays, however, the Mrs. and I took a Road King for a ride today and it just felt right. The wife loved the comfort of the seat and the way the bike handled the road and bumps compared to the Low Rider.

The dealer that had the bike is the same one that I bought my LR from and he gave me a deal I couldn't refuse. I had to come out of pocket $1300.00 and got more than $600.00 back in accessories, so it's a done deal.

I got an 09' RK and I can honestly say, I really like it....so, like I said, another one bites the dust. The pictures really suck because I just got back from riding and wanted to post some.

Congrats on the new bike. I am not ready to give my Dyna up yet, but I understand why you went with the Road King. If I were riding two up more often I would probably get one myself.

I'm sad to see your LR go, it was VERY nice.


But, if she isn't happy, your not happy. Just kidding, but really if I was going to tour with my wife on the back....


I was drooling over a 2010 Road Glide yesterday when we picked up my fathers new WG. Damn comfy looking ride!



So, congrats and enjoy!

Road Kings are awesome bikes. If your riding with the Mrs. alot the LR doesn't stand a chance in a comparison. Enjoy your new ride, you got a great bike.

Well Jake.. Gratz on the new purchase. I'm sure your pretty stoked to get modding on that thing. At least you did the right thing and got an 09 with the new designed frame.. Its a damn good looking bike for sure.

Just make sure you stay and hang out in the Dyna forum! Keep us updated on your scoot as well. Good luck with it man!
