Default RE: HELP ! RK v WIDE GLIDE

I'll be gettin some pictures of the bike when I pick it up this week sometime.
part that is pissin me off is all the rain out here the last few weeks, im going to have to bring the trailer up to get it, I was hopein to ride the thing home (50+miles). I have not even or ever driven a road king and here I am buying one..... I only hope I like the ride.
Only buying it for the wife to have a smother ride on the back, I was perfectlly happy with my wide glide.
There are some pics (crappy ones) if you scroll up on this thread.

Yes my buddy and I will be going to Laughlin (he just bought an 05 night train), if he gets off his *** and goes and takes his test for the lic, as of now he is (not supposed to) going to be riding on the freeway.

I wanna RIDE this damm thing to see if I even like it...............LOL
Im sure I will.
Hell got no choice now i own it..........

Bill,

I had a Road King for 10 years, trust me you are going to like it.

As far as Laughlin goes, we will be staying at Harrah's. If you want to try to get together let me know and I'll e mail you my cell phone #. We will also be going to Havasu, as we always go down and eat under the bridge. Let me know.

Regards,

Bill

Wouldnt you know,
Im sitting at work this morning, and my wife calls me and says...


They just called from the Harley shop and your bike is ready..
Ok! ! !

Walk to the bosses office and tell him I have to leave for the day.
he ask why?
"well you see I bought a new bike and I have to go pick it up."

Boss "I thought you were going to wait till you sold the one you have now?"

"Nope I couldnt wait, So Im going to take the day off and go pick it up, OK."

Boss "Well its raining out and go on get outta here"

SEA YAAAAAAA I leave

So here is what I had to go and pick up today



Now if the rain would quit I could put more then 1.5 miles on it in a day......

That is very nice! I did get a bike. I bought it today...will hopefully bring it home this weekend (supposed to be sunny and 50 degrees). It's a black & yellow Wideglide! No pictures yet.
