Good Luck from another newbie in Yorktown Heights NY.
Got my RKC after not riding for almost 30 years.

I don't know much about you, but I love your wife!
Ride safe.
Hey DrQ,
Did you get a new Road King? Got mine in 05. It is a 02 with lots of bells and whistles. Only thing it won't do is pay for my kids college tuition.
