Default 1997 Road King
I am a election judge in Harrison county and we are having a runoff election now, today a guy came in to vote, same age as me, 71, we started talking and we drifted into motorcycles, he said he had a motorcycle that he had not rode in 10 years and now that the doctors told him that shoulder replacement surgery was not an option because he couldn't pass a stress test, he was ready to sell, cheap, I ask what kind of motorcycle, and he said a 97 Road King, with 30,000 miles, he said he still starts it every couple of months, and he has a detachable tour pack. He is getting me pictures and figuring a price. Hope to get it next week.
