Default Its been fun but ROCKERMANS gone Tourin **Updated with Pics**

Wanted to let all you guys over here in the Softail section know thats its been great (specially all you Rocker guys). Got tons of great info and ideas for my Rocker, but went in to test ride a couple bikes or should I say actually rode 5 of them, and ended up riding home with an 09 FLHR (Road King). Man that is one sweet, comfy ride. Went in with the street glide in mind but really liked the Road King best after it was all said and done. Got the two tone Blue Flame pearl with the silver. Wife said it rides so smooth on the back that it was like night and day difference. Had the Rock set up with the touring struts, seat,and back-rest which was cool, but when we went on overnight trips had to carry a back pack. Anyway just wanted to give you guys a BIG THANKS for all the help and I will be checking in from time to time to see what you guys have been up to. Would of posted up some quick pics of my new ride but just got in from riding, cant get enough of it right now. If you guys want to see it I will post some pics tommorrow. See ya

There is nothing wrong with having both..

I kept the Rocker for Solo and the Road King for touring and pillions.

The best of both worlds.

Greetings,

Yep, those are nice! A lot better for touring as well. I love my Rocker C and plow the miles on it, but a bagger would make more sense.
