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.
