It was our annual epic road trip and we had a blast! Only had 1 disturbing close call when an idiot allmost took me out yesterday on Nevada / Calif hwy 395 he was passing coming at me at about 90 and I was rolling at about 70 and he squeezed back in his lane maybe less than 50 yrds from contact.

Enjoy - K

HD Road King review : In one phrase " sorry but it's just not my bag baby ... "

Everytime I saw a sportbike go by, I was turning my head to see. I came across a guy at a rest stop in Utah on a ZX14 with luggage. He had recently purcgased and rode from Mass. out to L.A. and was heading back, he had 6K miles on it in just a few months. Kool!

The road king is as different from my busa as is my chevy truck. It's comfy, easy to ride once it's up off the stand. It would purr at 80+ on the highway for hours on end. Started up boom every morning first turn and I really like the sound of the screaming eagle pipes. The hard bags give you an amazing amount of space for your traveling stuff. Handled well and I scaped the foot rest plenty of times. Brakes were horrible but it is a 700+ lb bike. I dont how women ride the big twins it was a hand full trying to get it off the stand and worse yet I allmost dropped it about 5 times because of gravel or wet surface when I put my foot down. I dont much like the "Harley Way" or attitude. Not that it was bad just not my thing. Beards, tats, skulls, leathers with no armor, nazi helmets... but I allways wanted to ride a Harley, kinda cowboy style thru the south west and that I have done and thoroughly enjoyed. Next year the busa for sure... or maybe a BMW or a Goldwing or ...

God I love the road! Cheers all!

I rode my HD Electraglide from Indianapolis, IN to Bullhead City, AZ and back at the first of July. Took my GF at the time and she said that riding on the back of the Busa was more comfortable for her. Now I do have Corbin seats on the Busa. The Harley is no fun in twisties cause I scrape the footboards all of the time. But, those kind of roadtrips are a blast anyway. We did the south rim of the Grand Canyon on the way back. You put up some great pics!! Looks like it was a fantastic time!

That was the rental bike and the guy on the dark blue RK custom kept putting all his crap in that luggage so it was a constant joke and complaining ...
