Default On the road and loving it
I went to theDMVtoday andonthe way home from school I took a route that was puddle free. Being in the 60's I couldn't resist taking my new Road King for its' maiden voyage. While it was a short run and just a taste, I instantly fell in love. I have ridden Road Kings before, but something about riding your ownis much more enjoyable. I always thought my Sportster was cool, butfrom my first ride on this bike I feel like I have graduated. This bike is awsome.You are no longer on it, you are in it. The comfort level has grownexpotentionally. I am glad I had Sportster as I think it made me appreciate this move up more.
