Default Finally ...

After a long layoff from riding I bought a new RK in November and in Michigan it has been slow to warm up. 55 today so dealer got the bike ready and delivered it to me and I hit the road for maybe 20 miles or so and brought it home. What a long winter! Going to put some miles on this now that we are starting to see some spring temperatures.

I have the Fuel Moto header and Jackpot 4" mufflers and it sounds great and has a nice pep to it just riding around town.

Congrats. Sweet ride! Here in northern CT about 57 today. Went to the local dealer and bought some S100 and a new chrome tidbit. Took the loooooonnnnngggg way home. I have the FM 2-1-2 with Vance&Hines twin slash monsters. Got some compliments on the looks and sound. Ride safe.

Nice ride. Sure seems like Mother Nature is fighting off Spring with everything she has. Another week or so and we should all be getting out more.

Nice looking bike. Weather across the pond is cold, like one long Winter ! Still snowing and cold ! Not many brave enough for these kind of conditions so if you are enjoying reasonable riding weather wherever you might be ..... Suggest you take full advantage and Enjoy, ...riding season in Europe is going to be short in 2013 !
