So hey everyone. I'm not new to riding, but the last time I really rode one was 30 years ago. Anyways my brother in law passed away and I now am the proud owner of a 2005 Road King. I'm a little concerned with the weight just because it has been so long. Anything I need to know?

@Crowley74 Welcome to the HDFORUM.
I hope you enjoy your time here as much as you enjoy bikes.
It is a great idea to create a signature line that includes your bike's year, model, and all the letter designations Harley-Davidson uses (excluding the VIN, of course). You can also add a picture to your signature line.
If you choose not to create a signature, remember to include this bike information whenever you post a question by using the drop-down menu to choose the appropriate area on the forum. This ensures you get the most accurate and helpful responses.
At the bottom of each area, you will find Community Team Owners for that section. PM them if you need help selecting an appropriate area.
Here would be a good place for a new thread for that question about starting back on a bike...
