Default Hiya

I am Chef Mike and wanted to introduce myself. I recently got my motorcycle licence and do not currently own one yet. A lot of lusting at this point. I have been looking at some bikes and am torn between a 2003 aniversary roadking with 20,000 and inexcellent shape,with a great price froma friend of the family. Or getting a strictly crusier style like a dyna etc which i would have to look for new or possible used. Is the road king too big for riding in town as well as hiway. also keep in mind i am a new rider. I have ridden both style bikes and did well. Thanks

I've ridden all sort of Harleys and the Road King is the best yet. Not too big; just right. Comfortable and easy for around town and hiway. You'll do just fine :-).
