After 1 month of proud ownership of a 2007 Razor Red SERK, I discovered a few problems. Hopefully a few folks could help me out here.
1. To many people want to stop and admire the bike, which takes away from my ride time.
2. Not enough ride time (see #1)
3. To cold for the wife to ride with me (see #2)
4. My wife wants her own
5. I'm spending way to much time and money on mods (see #1 and #2)
Ride on.. Man I love this bike.
Big Iron,
When I had my original red FLHRSEI Screamin Eagle Road King, I learned very quickly.
In response to no. 1. When you DO have to stop and park the bike, lock it and RUN AWAY VERY QUICKLY. Otherwise, you'll be spending quality ride time doing nothing but jaw jacking.
Also, your wife will grow tired of doing things on her own. Because she will get tired of waiting for your sorry A$$ while jaw jacking to total strangers about how beautiful your bike is
. So, she'll just leave you standing there to entertain the local gawkers. Trust me, the women just don't understand. It's just a machine to most of them. SO, I refer back to my suggestion above. Trade in your black boots for some PF Flyers. You'll need to run faster and jump higher just to get away. I've had people follow me into stores to talk to me. You're adventures are just beginning. They'll wait for you to come out of the restaraunts, they'll flash you down and they'll go out of their way to admire it.
Spending too much $ and time on mods? Let me guess, this is in order to draw even MORE attention to the fire engine red pait job with lots of sparkle in it and tons of chrome. Um...it's your call, but I'd just ride it. That kind of stuff is for winter projects.
Your wife wants her own? That's an easy one, What is she going to give up? Of course then you both could stand and hold classes together whith all the people that want to see the "as RIDER MAGAZINE PUTS IT", "THE KING OF BLING" on their 2007 October front cover. 8-) I'd sometimes get tired of talking and there may be as many as 5-6 people standing around it at any given time. Always cary water and breath mints. You'll need them.
Sometimes the breath mints will be for you but most of the time for the dudes standing around you.
If it's too cold for your wife to ride, leave her home. Nothing apealing about a biker chick with snot running down her face. Gives you more ride time.
I know all too well and I FEEL YOUR PAIN. Trust me, it's a good pain though. Just enjoy the ride and don't stop until you HAVE to. You've just found out the true definition of gas and go!
Enjoy it!
