New to Touring bike (2010 FLHR) as of the end of March 2010. Prior to that, I rode an '03 Springer Softtail, a BMW 650 Dual Sport and a Honda Liter Bike. I've been riding for many years and am now at "home" on what I feel is the best I've been on (FLHR).
I bet most everyone here has purchased their first tourer. Some have purchased their second and third too.
Yeah, but I ride it like I stole it.
The RK is my first touring bike. It's not quite as nimble as my Sporty was, but I don't miss that Sportster one bit. I could turn the little bike around in my gravel driveway, but having to back in with the RK is a small price to pay.
6th bike 5 suzuki 1 06 Road King Classic vivid black new hard bags bought on Christmas eve also (only problem) to many places to chrome but love it !!!
After a 21 yr stretch without riding...my first Harley was the FLHT I have now. My next HD will probably be a Tri-Glide. My last bike, 21 yrs ago, was a Suzuki GS 1000L.
