Just another foolish Canadian who purchased a Metric last year and finally came to my senses today after buying a 2005 RoadKing. I won,t get the bike for another 2 weeks. So I am just wondering if I made a good decision? P.S. Please don,t hold it against me that I rode a Yamaha for a year, keep in mind that here in Canada we don.t know what a cubic inch is, only cc,s.

Welcome aboard, I rode yamahas for years, always dreaming of owning a harley. One day the wife said "Go for it". No one will hold it against you for what you rode, we all have to crawl before we walk!

Yes, congrats on the Roadking! I have been eyeing the RoadKing for a couple of weeks now and can probably see myself getting one about 12-14 years from now after I retire. They look like a very comfy bike for long trips.
