I have been riding motorcycles since I was 14 and I’ve had my own motorcycle for the last 35 years. I started off by learning and riding dirt bikes an invaluable experience that carries over to street riding. I purchased my first street bike when I was 16, much to my Mothers horror. I survived those first couple years because of luck and the knowledge I had from dirt bike riding. At 18 I purchased my first big bike a Honda CB750 and I owned that for 20 years. During that time I also purchased a Honda V65 and I also owned that for 20 years. In 2009 I purchased my Harley-Davidson Road King; I had looked at this bike in 1991 when it was called an Electra Glide Sport. Motorcycles unlike cars evoke an emotional feeling, unless you’re lucky enough to own an exotic. Harley-Davidson is the manufacturer that gets that and just look at Harley it provides a glimpse into American Motorcycle history. I’ve been happy with my Harley and in a little over a year I rode 20 thousand miles.

The 20 thousand in one year as turned into more than 37 thousand miles in a little more than 18 months. The King is running well and is still the most comfortable bike I have owned to date and now has more than 53 thousand miles.
