Default Howdy from North Georgia

I've been lurking for a couple of years and have learned a lot. I thought I would post a "hello" and show some pix of my ride.

A little bio: I'm a 50-something year old male from Atlanta, now living in the Woodstock, Georgia area. My biking experience consists of a cross-country summer mission trip on my 1971 Yamaha 650 that took me from Georgia to California and back. Sold the bike after that and hadn't ridden until I bought a 1984 Honda Shadow Aero in 2005. Two years later, I bought my first (and only) Harley in the form of a 2007 Road King in Olive Pearl. Love it.

I've been getting the itch to upgrade to an Ultra, but have scratched the itch a bit by putting a Quadzilla fairing and an after-market "Tour-Pak" on the King.

Here's a few photos of before and after:






















So...........whaddya think?

After putting on the cheap-o "Tour-Pak", I'm really thinking hard about buying an OEM Ultra Tour-Pak with all the lights, etc. They look so much nicer and have more room on the inside.

I'd welcome any contact by members nearby who would like to get together and ride or just talk Harleys.

Thanks,

Randy
