Default yeah the king is still fun!

Since I bought SE ultra I like the comfort and the 110 so the king just sits in the corner of the bike shop I even threaten to sell it so I can start a new project. well yesterday I was washing the bikes and cleaning the shop up and I was moving the king out of the way I thought WTF might as well take it for a quick ride to town . I was cruising about 60 as there was a car cruise control passing a truck blocking both lanes of traffic (4 lane road) as the road cleared I was along side the truck and looked over and it was someone I knew in the truck he was smiling giving me the get on it sign so WTF I dropped a gear and jumped on it, it lanched nicely hit 5th looked down it was at 120mph slowed down for my turn into town. MAN!! couldn't keep from smiling the rest of the day . damn that bike is fun. I think I just need to add to the collection instead of selling it.LOL

I'm always smiling for awhile after a ride on my King. I love it. You may have to mix it up from now on so she doesn't get too lonely from no attention. Glad you took her out for a nice reminder.

Well threating to sell and actualy listing it or advertising it are two different things , I don't think I could ever really do it . But a fourth bike project doesn't seem to get the wife as excited as it does me . Maybe I'll just find a basket case and tell her it's really only a half a bike .LOL truthfuly she doesn't care she say's the bill's are payed and it's my money do what I want
