Default Goodbye!

Hello all! I just ordered up a '14 CVO Road King, and trading in my baby on it. I just wanted to take the time to thank all of you for the endless help and ideas over the last five years. I haven't been on here much the last year or so, but I'm sure some of you will remember me... Anyways, I have to say, I loved, and still love the Heritage, but it's getting up there in miles and the time is right to trade it in on something new. I wasn't ready for an old man bike just yet and thought the RK should be a great fit. Thanks again for all your help!

They have a CVO RK in ghost grey at our local HD dealer. It's one beautiful machine that's for sure. I almost drool over it when I see it. The sales manager says go ahead and have a seat, you'll fall in love.. that's why I won't sit on it ! I only have two payment's left on my current ride and will be completely transportation debt free.

Correction, its titanium dust... dam now ya got me looking at them.. must not cave, must not cave !



Good luck with the new ride !

I was looking strongly at that color, but decided on the orange one... I should take a lesson from you though and save my coin, but you can't take it with you, and if I get run over by a bus next week, it'll be on the back of my new bike! lmao

Glad to hear you enjoyed yourself! I was out your way in June on my way south... You have some great riding out there! I'm sure you will see me there next year. I'll post a pic of the new scoot when I get it so you'll know who to look for.
