The Bikes
1 down, and 1 to go. John decided early on that a Harley “Road King” would be his weapon of choice. We found a cherry 2004 Road King Classic in Escondido. 11,000 miles on it, tons of chrome, and it looked like it was straight off the show-room floor. Bought it today. :yeha:
The paint job is a white pearl, and it has an amazing deep white paint job that does look like a pearl.
Sam is still debating about either a Road King or one of the Dyna series Harleys. Tough call for an 18YO, as the Road Kings ride nicer, but the Dyna’s have more of a “biker” look.
We took the RK out to a parking lot to practice riding (and got yelled at by security ). It weighs 750lbs (400 more than my dirt bike), so it will take some getting used to.
I really gotta get a leather jacket. I just don’t think the dirt-bike enduro jacket look is going to catch on with the HOG riders. Sam found a 2001 black Harley Dyna SuperGlide (an FXD in Harley terms).
We’re adding saddle bags to it, a rear rack for camping gear, and “mini-ape” handle bars.
