Karen's King........Road King that is.......




I get a call today on the warm line telling me I had better get up to the Harley-Davidson dealership. Oh let me first say that my lazy worn out ass was asleep in my recliner. I jumped up to answer the phone while at the same time wiping the drool from my chin. The voice on the other end says "you aren't riding today?". I suppose I have somewhat of a reputation.






It seems one of my good friends and riding partners has decided to procure a new ride. This lovely lady has ridden many miles with me. Let me tell you that she can ride the hell out of a motorcycle. She can ride the figure 8 box with the best of em.






The new ride is a 2003 FLHR Fireman's edition Road King. She's a beauty too. Loaded with lots of shiny chrome and all the 100th anniversary edition emblems to boot. This bike is perfect for Karen. She loves flames and bright red. Just check out her chaps. Oh and word has it from a reliable source that this bike is capable of going faster than the 107 mph that a certain someones Electra Glide Classic will do.






Congratulations Karen on the new ride!



Ride Safe

Nice ride - first time I've seen someone buy a bike to match the chaps! Tell Karen not to test the 107 mph theory. That way the bike will stay Fire Engine Red and not blood red.

Dude, out of that whole thing you wrote, I most closely identified with the drool and recliner. At least your friends call you first. Mine show up punching the throttle until I come out with my hair sticking up with that "i just got up expression". Nice Ride! I love it when someone gets a new ride...it's a guaranteed road buddy and license to tear up the road. Tell her congrats.

Sometimes Joker, lol. Bro, you earned the name. lol
