Welcome! You are just up the road from me here in Ely. Looks like we need to plan some rides in the Spring. The group just keeps getting bigger!Brian 1450 said:Hi, I'm Brian. I have finally got my life's dream...my first Harley Davidson. I've had lots of bikes over the years, mostly British ones, but ever since I was 16 years old I've wanted a Harley.
I've followed the history of HD for the last 34 years and watched the models come and go. Now I'm at a time in my life where everything else is sorted and I can have a few things for myself.
I've bought a 100 Anniversary Road King Classic in gunmetal blue, and I love it. I was lucky, as it had only done 240 miles from new...I've had it nearly a year now.
I am lucky enough to understand the full workings of such a machine, so any repairs won't be too much of a problem, but I might be on here asking for advice from time to time.
Oh and by the way...I'm a chrome junkie. As the bike has late fifties styling...I've picked that as a theme for further customising, with plenty of the shiney stuff. Nice and tasteful.
My other interests are looking after my best friend...a large male Rottweiler dog, and drinking alcohol with my buddies, but not when I have to ride the RK.
I'll post some pics of the bike later on, but at the moment it's tucked up for the winter months.
Speak to you all later...Bye..Brian.
Nah, I ordered it through the US military sales program. I go to Blackbear occasionally for bits and bobs though. Nice area down there.Brian 1450 said:Hi Frank, did you get the Fatboy from Blackbear? That's where I got the RK from.

I have done some research for you today to answer your question. I have converted UK pounds into US dollars at todays rate for you to compare quickly with US prices. These bikes are at my local HD dealer, and are in absolutely prestine condition.theredstrat said:Brian,
I hate to drag business into it, but what kind of range are bikes going for over there in US$? We here all sorts of stuff at the shop about HD's going for astronomical amounts overseas.
