I have been reading the forum for a while but had not registered yet. I got around to doing it today, so I thought I would jump in and say “what up?” I bought a 09 Road King back in August, and have been working on making it mine. Thanks to the search function, I have gotten some great ideas and advice. I look forward to being a part of the forum.
So, thanks for helping me spend my money, and my wife hates this forum already.

I think that reading the forum threads saves money- it helps determine a direction and the stuff to get there.- all based on someones else's experiences, money, time..

Every $ saved on a current bike gets you that much closer to paying off the debt, or closer to that additional bike(s) in the garage.

So you win, welcome to the Forums.

Oh yes, your right about that. I did tons of reading before I bought anything and I have been happy with everthing I purchased. It helps to learn from those that have been there before.

Have fun with your King.

If anything these forums cost me more money by making me want to upgrade things, and change things up because of things I see/read on this site.

Well, I have to admit that my Xgirlfrend was not very happy about me spending so much time on this forum, maybe that is why she is "X" right now. ... But anyway, even thou I haven't been very active on this forum, because I do mostly reading, I picked up a lot of valuable and important information. And I thank everybody on this forum... Welcome to the FORUM !
