Life on a Harley

Late last summer I bought a Road King from my Brother-in-law.  Kudos to Mark it is a beautiful bike.  I've  been on, around or owned motorcycles most of my life with just a few empty spaces in there.  Most of the bikes I've owned I've had to resurrect from the dead so to speak.  They were the kind of bikes that if I rode for three hours I would spend four hours working on it.  This is by far the nicest bike I've owned, and of course I love riding it, which I proved by doing 4 round trips between Indiana and Florida between late September and November last year.
Now we have a bit of a situation.  Not too long ago the bike developed a wobble in the rear.  One day going around a corner two blocks from the house I heard a snap and was almost thrown from the bike.  I called the dealer and their best guess was wheel bearings in the rear.  I finally broke the bike down yesterday.  The bearings are fine, but what I found wasn't so fine.  It seems I have about 6 broken spokes.  I guess tomorrow I'll find out what it costs to re-spoke a rim.  I may be buying a solid rim...

Hopefully I'll be back on the road sometime next week.  Then I'll start my journey of photos from the road series.  Maybe Maria will join me?
