Howdy,

Noob checking in. I've been riding just about every kind of bike except HD for the last 40 years or so and now that I'm hitting mid life, I'm thinking it's time for a Road King. Soon I hope. My wife and I are taking a trip through Canada in August, and I hope I can do it on the Road King. My V-Strom's fun, but not built for 2 up touring.

Hope to get some good input from you folks.

My wife and I love our RK. I don't think you will be disapointed witha that choice. Welcome to the Forum from Indy! Another winter strom and another postponment of that first 2010 ride.

Glad to have you join in the fun. Great place to hang around.... you may learn a little, may learn a lot, may not learn anything. But you will have a few good laughs and make some new friends. Welcome. Geez
