I go on raw emotion,if it looks good,I buy it.

When I use logic to select a bike after awhile I wish I had gone with my gut.

Motorcycling is my escape from the real world (job,mortage,wife)

I had my Honda, the wife was like "no way am I riding on that". 4 out of 5 riding guys at work had RK's so that's what I was looking for. My cousin gave my wife a ride on his Ultra................that was the end of the RK and the rest is history. The EGC is a great bike too

Had the exact same problem. I went with the RK because like u I love the looks of the king with apes and that is just how mine is set up. I would have both if i could.

I kinda didn't pick....my friend who rides a street glide turned me on to my bike. I initially wanted a Softail Deluxe.
