I am french (Paris)ANDsince one week a brand new owner of a Roadking classic 2002.
I'm 32 years old, and that's my first harley.
That's was one of my dream, and that's really great to realize your dreams.
that's only one week, I have it, and still I am not at my ease to drive it, I was wondering, how many time it took you to know your bike ?
My first impression is :
The design of the bike is even nicer than what I thought
I love the engine
the bike is really big for our traffic jam other (passing the lines is difficult ...)
AndI am really looking for making a 1-2 days trip in the country side where the bike will show the real caractere.
I will post some pics as soon as I will understand how to do it :-)
Congrats on the proper choice of a MC and model. You need to put some miles on it in the countryside before you get bumped by one of those little mini cooper looking cars in Paris. I have spent time in Paris, get out of there to practice and get some miles under your belt, then you will realise how nimble that big bike is. I will be over there again in Feb.
Congratulations from Southern California! I thought I had a chick magnet here in SoCal, I just realized thaton the streets ofParis you'll 2 Sidecars and a stick to beat 'em off with!
