Default Road King Classic - Test Drive

Picked it up at the showroom in Edinburgh (Scotland) this morning. The temperature was a nice 11c and clear.

A lovely Pearl White RKC was mine for the day.

Set of out of Edinburgh, down through Auchendinny to Penicuik. From Penicuik, across to Leadburn, Waterhead Eddleston and into Peebles. Then out of Peebles, acroos to Galashiels. Stopped for a hot brew and a warm up then headed back through Stow, Killochyett, Arniston, Dalkeith and back into Edinburgh.

A great ride and one hell of a machine.

Took it up to 80mph on the ride back on a few of the strait roads (not that many) and its a beast.

Canny wait for mine to be delivered.
