2012 King

I gotta save some money for fat spokes!

 

 

Yes it is. You have a keen eye. I wanted to fill up the front fender a little. No one makes a front in the size I wanted.

 

My 06 custom that I was servicing on my new lift I picked up off Craig's list. Thats the day before our 10 hour ride to Daytona bike week and back

 

It was definitely a "learning curve" kind of thing. The hard sand wasn't a problem, but the patches of soft sand, especially at the entrances and exits, were a little challenging. I managed to stay upright but my buddy dropped his Ultra 3 times. In his defense- all the beer was in one saddlebag so he was off balance. It didn't hurt a thing dropping it in the sand, except maybe his pride.
I'm glad I did it, one of the coolest things I've done on my bike, but of course now there's sand in strange places for awhile.

 

STUNNING RK! Well done sir, well done.

 

I'll post pics ASAP which will be in about 90 days when I get home.

I thought the same thing when I first saw the bike online but when I went to look at and saw it in the sun, oh yeah.

 

Beautiful bike and a great picture.
Getting rid of the sand may take a while.
It goes everywhere.

What you describe is why I didn't want to try it. I've taken a 4 wheel drive SUV onto the beach at the northern end of the Outer Banks in North Carolina and, just as you describe, there was a pit of very soft sand right where the ramp dumped onto the beach. I did OK, but saw several cars get stuck and had to help push them out. I didn't want to mess with that with the bike (let alone the "sand everywhere" issue especially with a long ride back to Northern Virginia ahead of me. But I'll bet it was fun while you were out there!
