    Been a while since I've been on.

    As suggested since I high jack someone else thread, thought I'd start my own.

    So here's my dream come true. The dream started like 100 years ago, twas a Fatboy, Then Heritage Softail, Then it was a Road King.

    Only a few months ago I started to consider a Ultra Limited after several joy rides, until just by chance I test road a 2012 Road King with 130k on the clock, wow sweet so back to Road King, Started googling FLHR and the rest is now history.

    2013 Road King in Candy Orange and Beer Bottle, with Heritage bars.

    103ci with stage 1 kit, K&N filter, decated headers and V&N Monster Ovals.

    The previous owner had a skull theme goin on that  don't mind in the least.

    He even did some led's around the engine and some red eyes on the Skull horn cover, maybe a bit cheesy but who cares.

    I'm as happy as a Pig in shit.

    I'll post a few video's when I figrue that out.

    The Road King I test rode had 103,000km on the clock and was tight and smooth, thats waht turned me back to a Roady.

    Mines done 46k which really is nothing me thinks.

    Cheers

    Enjoy your new ride, seems as the tide is turning to more people getting on to the baggers more than ever.

    When I was looking at getting an Ultra Classic/limited I realised that in 40 odd years of riding 99% was solo, so why the need for an empty armchair.

    So re awaken the RK.

    Now the restless irritable discontent seems to be kicking in, now I seem to be eyeing off Street Glides ,surprise Mmm, Maybe the sound system? just gotta be grateful for what I have.

    Just love it.

    Welcome back Kappy.

    Street Glides are very popular these days with forum members with more people switching to them. They are a fantastic bike for many reasons.
