Default New RK standard

Well for my birthday I took a half day off from work and jumped on the bike rode home got the wife rode to lunch. Rode to the dealer and got a sissy bar for her. Ahhh the RK sitting there with my name all over it.... no time had to get home get the cage and pick up son from band practice!!!

So we went back yesterday and test rode the RK for 20 miles. Man that is a sweet ride. On the Bob, my wife says that the bike kicks her somewhat on bumps (honestly I probably shoulda dialed the shocks down another notch), but on the RK... what bumps? So we dropped a deposit and are gonna go get the Black Pearl RK standard w/ lace wheels this afternoon... happy birthday she says to me!!! woot!!! (hey wait a sec... I am paying??? WTF?)

Two horses for the stable. My Bob can now go straight Solo and be my hotrod. The RK will be our 2 up tourer and cruiser when we date. I can now post in both Dyna and Touring topics

Hey, it's my birthday and until I read your post, I was very happy with my 30gig IPOD and Bose IDoc. Thanks... NOT

Enjoy the RK. My Deuce is already single saddle 100% of time (wife doesn't ride) but I'd put a RK next to it in the garage if I had the cash.

Make mine white or powder blue...
