I like the bike. It does it's job very well. I do wonder if long term it's a good bike to have though. Lot of expensive technology to go wrong. ABS, Infotainment....just not sure. I'm also toying with the idea of building a 2002 Road King. I have to ask those in the know, but I believe that year had a stronger bottom end and cruise (which I need for travelling) is an option. I wouldn't mind shedding 100 lbs of weight and getting rid of that fat rear tire too. If I sold mine and bought even the Screaming Eagle version I would have money left over for improvements. If I did that, it would be my last Harley. The new ones are just too expensive and unreliable for the miles I put on them.

So what did you do to **** off the Posers?

I'm guessing it doesn't get below zero in Texas...

I bet it didn't feel good on the shoulder either.


Morning Bob and Larry.
