I was thinking of going Road King or Street Glide, and I still might do so in the future, but this will have to do for the trip.

Congrats on the new to you ride!

Road trips are good for the soul. Have fun!

Oh yeah man, checked and triple checked by myself before i even took it to him as well as him, even going as far as a completely new battery
