Default Good bye Sporty - Hello Road King

Ah, well, very excited. I traded in my 2011 Sportster for a 2008 Road King. I pick it up tomorrow, pretty stoked.

I love that color combo. Talk about a serious upgrade over a sporty!

Hah, definitely a big jump.

The Sporty was fun but I was due for something bigger.

Here is the thread on the stuff I did to the Sporty:

I have 13 years of experience with this exact trade (except different years obviously). I don't think you will ever look back. Good job!
