Default So, I did a thing yesterday...

I bought a new (to me) 2022 H-D Road King! Only 716 miles and utterly spotless. This is my first-ever Harley and I traded my 10-month old 2021 Goldwing DCT Tour in to buy it. The team at Rider's Harley-Davidson were fantastic. I rode it home to Collierville, TN yesterday afternoon and I've been busily added a few items and modifying the shield to fit my height (or lack thereof...lol). I also adjusted the clutch lever position so the friction zone would be closer to the grip. It already needs it's first service.

Awesome. Congratulations on your new bike. May I know why you traded in your brand spanking new 2021 goldwing DCT ? I was just looking at it yesterday and thought of test riding it.

I had 2013 Goldwing F6B and loved it. Got totaled on my way to Sturgis when a pick up truck cut me off, I was playing with my after market cruise control that was installed just a day ago before trip. 2013 F6B did not come with cruise and I had to order one from Australia. Had spent close to $3,000 on the bike set up for me before the trip. Down the drain. It was my mistake.
