Second week owning my Road King. Just getting to know and love it.

 

I had a sportster many years ago. Bought Fatboy Lo 10 months ago and just traded it in for a new SGS. What a great ride!

 

if that 's not an adage..it should be

livinfree

 

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!!!"

If tat's not a n ADAGE it sure as he!! should

 

Been riding bikes almost since i could walk... had been riding my BMW R1200gs as my sport/touring bike as i do some off road riding while traveling... decided i needed/wanted something more comfortable for longer rides... traded my 2011 FatBob in on s 2014 FLHTK, knew it was what i wanted, bought it with out even riding it... got 950 miles on it in the first couple of weeks, longest ride was 400 miles... love it, its everything i wanted in a touring bike...

 

Traded my 07 Heritage for a 2014 CVO Road King. Had the bike 3 weeks, done only 200 miles, love it! In the UK, so weather is just improving.

 

Been riding for years but bought my first Harley about eight months ago. Didn't do alot of research in advance but knew I wanted a Roadking as I was riding a Yami Royal Star. My budget was 10K so I knew it was going to be an older bike and I was OK with that. I have never owned a new bike yet and have always gotten good deals on used bikes with no problems.

I came across a mint 99 RKC with FI, sinister blue pearl and decked out. My wife even said it was a beauti and should "go for it". Made an offer and got it for 8K.

Don't get me wrong, I love my bike and it currently runs perfect. What I have now found out over the past 8 months is 99 was the last for some things and in 2000 changes were made. For example, in 2000 you can buy an adapter to put a 150 fatter tire on the back. No so for 99. The fork lowers are different on 2000. 1984-1999 and 2000-2014 the same. MMI fuel-injection is basically obsolete on my bike and I'm just praying I don't have an issue.

In hinsight I wish I would have bought a 2002 or newer and spent closer to the 10k budget I had and got the Delphi FI, but I didn't know at the time or got a bike with a carb and 2000 or newer.

Ride on!

 

Bought 09 in fall still getting used to it

 

Just went from soft tail night train to 13 road king

 

First ride on the new RKC yesterday. Had to wait almost a month since delivery to hit the road but it was worth the wait!
