I'd look for a 2005 Road King a little closer to home. I know Harley built more than one.
If you can find cheap air fair fly out. I'd get a round trip ticket. Check out the bike, if you buy it ride it home (pretty easy two day ride).
If not check out NC for a couple days fly home.

Fixed it for ya. HINT - use the IMG Code to copy/paste from Photobucket
I did get my ride shipped to me from Cali to VA sight unseen. But a lot of communication with the guy first. It worked out perfectly. A buddy of mine did the 1 way airfare ticket, handed over the funds, and hopped on for his ride home. I shipped because it was Feb, but if I do it again I'll fly/ride.

I bought my first bike that way. Bought it from a gal in Memphis. She and her husband delivered it to me in GA just for the cost of gas. I took a chance, but the owner sounded like good people and since they were willing to deliver and didn't seem at all dodgy, went through with it. No regrets.
