Default New RKC owner, Paris

Hi all,

I am french (Paris)ANDsince one week a brand new owner of a Roadking classic 2002.
I'm 32 years old, and that's my first harley.
That's was one of my dream, and that's really great to realize your dreams.

that's only one week, I have it, and still I am not at my ease to drive it, I was wondering, how many time it took you to know your bike ?

My first impression is :
The design of the bike is even nicer than what I thought
I love the engine
the bike is really big for our traffic jam other (passing the lines is difficult ...)
AndI am really looking for making a 1-2 days trip in the country side where the bike will show the real caractere.

I will post some pics as soon as I will understand how to do it :-)

I started riding when I was 5, so getting used to a big bike was not a problem.

Congrats on the King though - enjoy!!

Congrats on the proper choice of a MC and model. You need to put some miles on it in the countryside before you get bumped by one of those little mini cooper looking cars in Paris. I have spent time in Paris, get out of there to practice and get some miles under your belt, then you will realise how nimble that big bike is. I will be over there again in Feb.

Oh and welcome to the forum.

You have some great road in France, enjoy the bike within one month you will feel more confident I am sure.

Take the ride from Paris to Le Mans next weekend (they have a dealer there I think) ...you know if makes sense!

Welcome to our family.
