Default New guy from Green Bay.

Hello all. I'm not only new to the forum but also to Harley's. recently my grandfather have me his harley before he passed away. 2002 road king. Completely love it. I still have my old bike. A zx6r. Yeup. A sport bike. Or whatever else you all want to call it. I liked the cowboy style and flying around like an idiot. I calmed down and realized I'm not into the whole crotch rocket thing anymore. I liked longer rides. Was looking at cruisers and then I was given my road king. Now I used to bash the Harley's like crotch rocket kids do. I really shut up after my first ride on the king. Not a single thing I can bash about them. Really embraced the ride. Real big thing to get used to. A lot of weight and weird at cornering then what I was used to. Gotta say I don't know why I ever owned a sport bike but whatever. Anyway I look forward to meeting some new people and learning a lot about Harley's and the life. Thanks for the look.

Welcome. Take the Riders Edge Skilled Riders Course. Stopping a big touring bike fast takes practice. I believe Sauk City gives that course.

I think I should look into that. Sometimes the weight plays with me and I get happy feet. Thanks.
