Default Road King

After riding a few different touring bikes I went and made the plunge and tomorrow I pick up my new 2012 Road King. I will add pics soon.

The 'King' can take some punishment. I got back a few hours ago from doing a pretty much non-stop 7 hour trek all over my state and the bike purrred like a kitten the whole time. On the last leg I was bazook'in it down the super slab doing 80-85 and got more than one thumbs up from cagers as I blasted past em. Probably because it was getting pretty damn hot out there and the bike and I braved it all the way home. It really is King of the Road. Oh, and the six speed tranny ROCKS!

Tucci, I just rode your whole state twice in the last few weeks, 80 - 85 is not bazook' in it there. You are lucky you didn't get run over. Are sure they were thumbs they were giving you?

Beautiful riding there, really nice, so nice I will be back there in April.
