Title: Just checking in
Post by: CTCruiser on February 29, 2008, 12:30:21 AM: What's up all,

Name is Walt been rinding and racing for 20yrs now but mostly sport bikes. But I'm getting way to old for that style of rinding now and I guess its high time I stepped up to the big boys. Be for warned I'm new to v-twins new to HD's and I just found out what CVO stands for yesterday ;D

So If I ask some incredibly stupid questions try to bear with me. I got my eye on a 08 SE RoadKing at my local stealer in fact I have a test ride set up for this Saturday.

I figured the best place to get the strait poop on these bike would be from the folk the own and ride them so here I am. :xyxthumbs:

You have your eye on a very special motorcycle. You will love it coming from the sport bikes. A totally different ride, and you are going to meet up with some great people too. You do meet the nicest people on a Harley. A Great Big CVO Welcome to you. Glad to see you on the board and hitting the ground posting.

Welcome from SE PA ride safe, ride hard

Did I see where Mrs We stole an Old Honda Slogan "you meet the nicest people on a Honda" Honda came out with that in the late 60's to combat the Harley image of the 1%rs

If your local dealer wants anything above MSRP......then move on. Post in here, one of these guys will you find you a bike at MSRP or even better. :2vrolijk_21:

Post by: mtluvtap on March 01, 2008, 10:45:52 AM: Hope the demo turns out good. I rode a RK last fall in Utah.
The fairing is not attached to the handlebars like my Ultra.
Makes tight steering lighter, more natural and friendly
