Default me new too: FL54 and FLHRI 2004

hi folks,

just a short humble introduction from my side.

i live in berlin germany. i´ve registered here 2006 right after i bought my first harley. a panhead FL54. since then i´ve read a lot of posts but never posted myself.

after 5 years of struggling with the panhead never reaching an end and when looking back and realizing i´ve made 220 miles with it i was completely done and decided to buy another ride. i found a lovely road king FLHRI 2004 last year in february. used but in good condition. since then i made 12.000 miles on the road. unfortunately i had quite a long break due to a chain tensioner damage this summer. anyways i´m really happy with the road king. it´s an awesome bike. i love it. i love the looks, i love the sound of the vance and hines, white wall tires, deep blue color and all of it.

to ride on this bike is a cure. it is a bliss. and it became essential for me.

the panhead is still a procjet. but i was lucky and found some rare brand new STD heads on the web last year and probably will be able to finish it finally.

cheers

rockstar

p.s. forgive my bad grammar!
