Default Introducing Martha Belle
Say hello to Martha Belle . She is an 06 Road King Classic that I bought last fall with 2500 orig miles . I named her in honor of my 82 year old mother Martha Belle Francis . She has always got a kick out off the motorcycles I have built over the years . I tried to capture the classy Hot Rod attitude of the 40's and 50's with a low sloped back feel . Mom likes it . What do you guys think ? Thanks -Gary

Now that's a sweet looking ride. To me the stretched bags really set it off.
