Default New From West Central MN
Hello all. I have had some kind of bike around since I was a kid, always metric bikes of some sort. A couple of years ago I bought my first Harley, a 2010 883 Iron. My intention was to enjoy the Sportster for a few years and then trade it for a bagger of some kind, always was partial to the Road King. I was lucky to stumble into a really nice Road King this spring at our local dealership. I went ahead and traded into a classic FLHR. If anybody had told me 2 years ago I would trade into a 17 year old scoot, I would probably have just laughed. Gotta say this machine just spoke to me the second I looked at it. EVO power, lots of chrome, and runs really nice. I always enjoyed riding, whatever the machine was. I enjoy it even more on this bike. It is a lot of fun.
