Default New Road King ordered

I've been a Sportster rider since 1993 and just ordered a RK in "Black Magic." Retiring this year and hitting the roads to include Sturgis for the 75th. Yee-ha!

Nice,

welcome.

my first day on a bagger was 500 miles, my second was 800.

that kind of mileage was a huge achievement on the FXR , a walk in the park on a big bike with floaty soft suspension.

I bet you'll find similar
