I recently sold my Sportster and now I want to put my 65 year old *** on a stupid fast V-Max.

When I can swing a second bike, I'd like to have a dual sport of some sort to explore forest service roads, of which there are many in this state. Or maybe a Versys or V-Strom. Or a Fat Bob. Or...

I've been lurking on the ADVrider forum for awhile and even moreso now since I picked up a R1200 GS a couple months ago...I've seen you there some and have been meaning to say hi. You have great taste in bikes, btw!

The Road King is for long distance touring and two-up rides.

The TDM is for commuting and sport touring.

The Dakar is for exploring those tiny back roads that often turn to dirt and gravel.

Long rides on my 'KING" but to feel some power I jump on the Dyna for a blast.

Main ride is an 07 FLHTC, got an 08 1200C for the wife but she never took the riders course so when I go solo it's on the Sportser and it's moving my big a$$ at a high rate of speed.

I want a Road King as my 2nd bike. I want to dress it up, deck it out, soup it up silly. Just looking for the right deal. Brilliant silver or two tone white/grey pearl.
