I sooo can't wait to pick her up and ride all weekend. I'll miss my Street Bob , but I'm in love with my new Road King!!

Congrats on your new Harley.
Last December I traded in my FXDC for a 11 RK. I have over 6000 miles on her and I love it, still cant believe how great it handles.
Best of luck to you and be safe.

Nice Road King. I've had 2 of them and may buy a 3rd one. They don't call them "KING" for nothin'.

Congrats!!!
