I started w/an 07 Night Train. Have a SG now and no regrets. I do miss my NT though and would've kept it if 2 bikes was an option. It's nice to be able to ride for an extended period of time and not feel like I have to have my spine replaced. And music for me was a big deal too.

They're 11 and 13 so that time is coming fast.

imboden, you owe it to yourself to at least try the Road King. I'm not saying you have to buy it, but take it out for a test ride. I think you might like it, if you have never had one. Be sure to save the old bike, your 13 year old will be 16 before you know it.

I've owned a ridgid frame, an FXR, an FLT and currently I own a Forty Eight and my Softail Slim. I loved them all.... Wouldn't change anything, other than trying to ride more and not having sold the FXR to buy a house (I was happier making the bike payment).
It sounds like you might really like the Road King. They are comfortable bikes. If I were to get a third bike, that would be where I would look first. It's nice to have the storage and they are really nice out on the road. I had set up my 1980 FLT like one, with a bunch of take-off parts. What a great bike it was.... We put a lot of miles together.
