Spent my stimulus
I was leaning towards a couple of stocks with the stimulus but,
I was looking hard for a used Rushmore Twin Cam era to replace my 2015 Road King. But between the cost and the quality and out there I pulled the trigger on a 2021 Milwaukee 8 Road King Billard Red. Well I also had an extra 2800 in cash lying around thanks to the Democrast generosity.
Put almost 500 miles on it yesterday. I had shied away from the M-8s but it's been my loss. Very smooth, with around 101 lbs of torque always on the ready in every gear. I was concerned with 18 wheels on front and back but it they make this bike feel a couple hundred pound lighter.
Anybody else? What have you bought?

I like that red. I was surprised at how nimble my 18 Road King was. It looks chunky but with a little skill, you can hustle roundabouts pretty quick. Enough to surprise the car behind you for sure.
As to stimmy - maybe a set of GNX's for my new RGS. Still on the fence between them and the MK45.

For those that owned the pre-2020 Road Kings with the 17" front and 16" rear wheels and now ride/own the 2020/2021 Road Kings, did you notice a ride quality difference from the rear suspension? the 2020 and above RKs now have the new 18" wheel front and rear.
