Well I have wanted one for as long as I can remember. I bad mouthed them and the dealers but my wife and I started looking some time ago and finally pulled the trigger on this new to us 2005 Road King Custom. The previous owner took great care of the bike and added all sorts of extras to it. We signed the paperwork on Saturday and now we just need spring to get here in Michigan so I can bring it home. The Spyder is going into storage until I can get it sold. I gave it a go for two years but it just isn't my thing. Hopefully we can sell it soon. I am upside down on what I owe versus kbb on it but I am not looking to make anything on it. We are going to put storage insurance on it and keep it running and on a tender. I will get it out every so often and run it up and down the street to keep the "cobwebs" out of it. I got a great deal on this Road King and just couldn't pass it up. Only has 23K miles on it.

Congratulations. ...🎉🎊🎖
No one will shoot you and I hope the Harley is everything you dreamed it would be....It is an expensive way to find out if it is not... hope you at least rented one for a extended ride. Congrats on the new ride and hope spring springs soon so you can get out there and see what you have....be safe out there.....I will still wave....

The Road King is one of the best bikes Harley has. Our last one took us 155,000 miles and was the first bike that took us to Alaska and back all in 7 years.
So On a very fine looking bike!
Here's to many miles of smiles  .

If any of cared about what others thought about our motorcycle choices, no one would ride. Some like Harley's, others don't. Same can be said about any brand and any type (touring, cruiser, standard, dual purpose, sportbike, trike, scooter, auto-cycle, etc.). The only opinion that matter are yours and your wife's. Ride what makes you happy and be safe.
I have friends that ride Harley-Davidson Street Glides and Ultra Classics, Honda Goldwings, Kawasaki Vaquero, Suzuki GSXR and a Polaris Slingshot. As you can see in my profile pic, I own a Can Am Spyder RTL, Yamaha 1100 Custom and Kawasaki Ninja. Needless to say we look like a bunch of misfits when we go on a group ride but at the end of the day we all enjoy each others company and riding together.
Enjoy putting miles on your new bike.

I went the other way, sold my Harleys, bought an RTL. Decided I didn't like it, sold it bought a 2014 left over Honda CB1100, love it. Enjoy the Harley. Ride what you want to ride. If you change your mind try something else.
