Last year I babbled around on the site about getting a new Roadking Classic in deep turquoise and antique white. IF I sold me Corvette.
I already had an "03 Roadking FLHRI with an assortment of bags, tourpak for touring etc etc. It was my intention to keep the King and get a second bike.
Well today I sold the Corvette. Within 2 hours I was in the Harley dealer taking deliver of a 2009 Softail Deluxe in Deep turquoise and Antique White, optional wheels and optional security system also.
Hence I am sorry I lied to you folks... I was nearly certain that I was going to get another Roadking (would have been my fourth). But, as a brother mentioned in a response to my post.... "why would you want two baggers?" Upon meditating on this serious circumstance I elected to go with the Deluxe and folks...I'm hear to tell ya.... it is a might fine ride!
I took the long way home from the dealer...stopping for a few "show and tell" sessions, then after I got home it was out to the garage to slap the HD nostalgic engine guard on. As an HD dealer told me in a conversation one time about Engine Guards (crash bars)...He stated...."those engine guards have kept us from selling thousands of dollars of parts and charging labor cost to!" Nutshell the engine guards do help a lot even in a case of a casual toppling over.
Please accept my apoligy for lying to the nice folk on this site. I want to live a life that is "above reproach".
Oh,Two Harleys in the garage is a lovely site to behold.
