Default Hello from Upstate NY

Thanks for the add. Stopped riding 2 years ago, [Cancer, better now]. I'm in process of buying 16 Road King with only 13,000 miles. Previous 2 bikes were Road Glides. Due to medical bills that piled up I've been shopping in a certain budget range. I looked at a couple bikes in my range including a 14 Street Glide, but it had 56,000 miles. My first Harley was an 07 Ultra Classic. I put 43000 miles on it in 3 years. Once I took a Road Glide for a demo I never looked back. No buffeting like the batwing fairing. I used to have a Road King too, so I decided this is the way I'm going. It has stage 1, and upgraded seat. I'll probably change suspension. On my 22 Road Glide when I had it I bought legends and put them on in my garage. What a difference in ride, especially 2 up. Anyway, sorry for being long winded and look forward to learning and sharing with the forum.
