Default yup- im a noob
after 15 years of adamant rejection of Harley's and my repeated "youll NEVER see ME on a Harley"- my wife came home today and told me that i had a new bike. an 06 cobalt blue Road King Classic.

time to hang up the japanese bikes i figure. ive owned ALOT of sport bikes (CBR's, GSX-R's, ZX's, R1's... quite a few) and with a 2003 Road Star Warrior parked in my garage (thats now up for sale) well be taking delivery tomorrow at 6:30pm.

i guess i should mention that i also ride a 2000 Road King (police) for work... yeah- its a hard job... a take home Road King!!
