I have only taken it out twice given it is freezing and I have never owned winter gear, but it was a kick in the ass. Coming off so many rockets, I feel like I am riding a stand up jet ski now.

Took the TW200 out today to get the juices flowing in her. Started like a champ.

Well, so much for hanging it up this spring! Just got this sweet ride last night. Wasn't intending to buy anything when I stopped by Rocky Mtn HD for a break. Saw this '13 Road King (all stock, how rare is that?!), 5k less miles than my Fat Bob, they did the 10k service and put new tires on it. Made me a deal I couldn't refuse so now it's mine. Can't get over how much more comfortable I am on it than the Dyna and having the storage is awesome (been over 10 years since I had touring type bike). Some Bassani slip-ons on the way so at least it'll sound like a motorcycle and not a sewing maching LOL. Has the detachable windscreen which I'll only use for long rides. Just extended my riding life 10 more years!

Congrats on staying with motorcycles . Sometimes it takes a different style or brand to keep you on 2 wheels.Well, so much for hanging it up this spring! Just got this sweet ride last night.

If you like the RK you should have tried the Road Glide. I've owned sport & touring bmw's, Dyna, had a few baggers and choppa's over the years. My last ride was an 02 RG which, IMO, combined the best of the HD's in to one package. Throw in a moderate bit of motor work and it was a real rocking ride, be it in town or on those distance rides.
Like Ray I'm also a fan of year round windshield, you see objects hit it and go. Mmm i bet that would of hurt.

Very nice! Congrats!

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
The windshield just stays on my road king all of the time. Even on shorter rides it’s still nice to not be pelted by bugs, small rocks, etc.
The only dyna I’ve ridden belongs to my dad. It’s kind of my loaner bike when I go to visit him. About a hundred or hundred and fifty miles and I’m ready to get off of it. I can comfortably do five or six hundred miles in a day on the road king.
Nice RK, Doc. In my opinion quite possibly the perfect bike. For me, anyway. I fell into the same "too good a deal to pass up" thing last year and got a 17 RK with the Milwaukee 8 motor. God I love that bike.

Nice bike, Doc! Glad you’re staying in the saddle. I was bummed out when you’d posted before about being done with riding.

Thank you all. It's amazing how this bike has changed my ability to keep riding. I felt that with the aches and pains I had after a day on the "hot rod" I was just done as much as I loved that bike. Glad I'm free this next week so I can get more rides in, especially as it gets nicer after Tuesday. I realized I need to change the grips too so I'll take care of that on Tuesday after I drop the title and Screaming Eagle Super Tuner off at RMHD. Can't wait for the mufflers to get here along with Spring LOL.
By the way the red mark on the front fender is the reflection from a car parked across from me. This bike is in immaculate condition and out of the ordinary to find one unmolested haha. Almost 49 years in the saddle, have owned most every make and like them all. This one is really fun. Wish I could've ridden more today but had the world's best 4 yr. old grandson waiting for a fun day so couldn't get as much time on. That's ok, he's worth as much of my time as I can possibly give him.
BG, I rode a RK Special this past summer when the demo truck was in town-oh my, that motor is quite nice!
With as many riders as there are here we should do a forum ride once we get in to the good weather pattern.

I feel the same about my goldwing. Of course it's about as cool as a mini van.
