Added a 2nd Harley to the stable on Saturday evening so we'll have something more suitable for longer rides. This one is a 2007 Road King. 96ci, and has a performance chip. Unbelievable power when compared to the Springer!
Here she is--trunk and windshield removed for daily use, wearing her new tires and freshly bathed. Attached File Attached File ETA: I had been looking at big baggers for awhile, but hadn't found 'The One'. Gf and I were out for a nice ride early Saturday morning on the Springer. The Softail is a perfect bike for cruising back roads, putt-putting through town, or poker runs.....the chrome front end just oozes Old School Cool to me, but with the 5 speed transmission, 88ci motor, skinny front tire and no windshield, it's hard to ride at today's freeway speeds. We got home from our 3 hr ride and she commented that we should look into a bigger bike and take some road trips this summer. I don't need to be told to buy another bike twice! I opened up my Fb marketplace and there she was--clean bike, 20k miles, never wrecked, one owner, all maintenance records---and about $2K less expensive than similar bikes listed. The gentleman who owned it needed the money fast. The only real problem it had was a dry rotted front tire and a bald rear tire. He threw in a brand new set of Dunlops that he bought but couldn't afford to have installed. I spent Sunday going over the bike--washing, polishing, inspecting, testing, adjusting levers and controls to my preferred locations, and of course, replacing both tires. Its nice to be able to do my own maintenance, but I can honestly say that I understand why a shop charges so much to swap tires--that's a lot of work to do in a driveway |

Went up into Virginia last Saturday to ride the "Back of the Dragon". Not as good as the Tail of the Dragon IMO but still a fun ride. Bike is a 2021 ZX10

He's stationed in Missouri, we have family in Illinois that could also attend, and I live close enough to Cleveland and I know riders here. Tough call, I think I'll let him decide. He may decide to go to a completely different state.... someplace more scenic and make a trip out of it. |
