Winter is a good time to pick up a sweet garage queen.

Glad you're okay.

A good time for an upgrade, SG, RG or Limited, no time like the present. Take some test rides and see which one fits the bill better than the others.

Not pushing you in either direction but, compare bikes from other brands too so you want say, man, I wished I had tried that one before I bought !!! I think in the end, as already stated, get back in the saddle asap and pick what's best for you and your comfort zone and #1 goal, stay safe and enjoy the ride whatever you choose !

Do you plan on getting another Road King? Fairings and the gadgets associated are over rated IMO.

As much as I liked the RK I'm thinking of going back to a Low Rider, put some bags and a windshield on it and its a capable touring bike, would have to switch out the bars though and add cruise control.

So it looks like I might have a sissy bar w/ backrest & a rack for sale.
