"So
why a Roadking?" you all may well be asking
The
answers simple because I have loved the looks of the big touring Harleys for
years
My brother
when he had a Harley years ago also was lent a courtesy Roadking and my heart
was set.
On a
blustery day in march on a ride out to the coast, I passed "Shaws"
Harley Davidson
One
impromptu test ride later, a deal was stuck and on Maundy Thursday 2005 I collected
my first Harley.
Big Black
and shiney she has lived up to all my dreams
