After riding 25 years and owning half a dozen bikes from honda' to yamaha's to Kawizaki's, I finally own a Road King. And I am liking it more every day. Always wanted a Harley, now I got one. Am planning on keeping this one till I can't ride anymore, then passing it on to the grandson. Of course, I had all intentions of hanging onto the first two wives when I married them also. LOL

My '87 Glide runs just fine,...ride it every day...as shiny as when she was new....why would I get rid of it? Maybe someday I'll add to the family. There's always more room in the garage.
