Default 2009 Road King

Yesterday I picked up a 2009 Harley Road King at the H-D plant in York, PA and rode it home and I got to say that the new chassis is a sweet set up. For the ride back I headed north up I-81 into Scranton and then West on I-84 until I turned south on I-684 to get to my house. During that highway blast I easily was flirting with running the bike at triple digits no matter the road conditions. The only bummer was it turned out to be much colder than I hoped for and of course I left the windshield behind so I was chilled by the time I parked the bike in my garage.

You didn’t keep it under fifty for the break in! Joe I am appalled.
