Last Friday was the 5th week Ive had my '05 Road King custom. As of tonight I have a little over 1600 miles on her. Nothing like roaring between the sky scrapers in downtown Atlanta on a Sunday afternoon and scaring all the brunchers on the patios

Howdy, glad to hear that you have been lucky enough to be able to ride so much, there are people here that haven't been as lucky as you have been. Hope that your luck continues. Enjoy the ride.

I have to admit, I can't imagine riding in the crazy Atlanta traffic. It's freaking terrible...
