In 2004 we took a trip to Sedona, AZ. My wife, my kids and me. While there I rented this Roadking. I had sold my motorcycle when my son was about 3. My son barely remembered me having a bike when he was a baby, and my daughter did not remember her dad as a motorcycle rider at all. So i decided to rent this Harley and take them riding. Needless to say, it wasn't long until I got another bike of my own. I had always known I would get another bike. The kids were little, and I had no time to ride. But now things had changed. They were growing up. It wasn't long after renting this Roadking that I went out to buy my Kawasaki Nomad.
In Sedona, I spent the day riding up Oak Creek Canyon to Flagstaff. There I got caught in a thunderstrom. Arizona highway 89 is one of the top ten scenic drives in the US. Then I rode it out in the desert to Jerome, AZ. Jerome is literally on a mountainside, a very interesting place.
Since it is 33 degrees with sleet today I dug out this old picture from a ride in a warmer place and time. Next week the temperature might hit 60. I plan to pick the warmest day of the week and take the afternoon off to go for a ride.
Riding motorcycles and shooting photos along the way. Information on roads to ride, places to buy motorcycle stuff, places to get your bike worked on, new bikes,old bikes, and the people who ride them.
always did like the road king- the nicest of the harleys. i like the desert too except for that nasty cold air at night.
ReplyDeleteI rode some in my high school days and when I joined the Air Force I didn't get any chance to take it up for manyyyyy years. I guess it was 3 years ago my husband and I decided to take the MSF course and once we passed it we went and each got a used motorcycle - and the rest is history, lol. We did wait till our two boys were much older. Once you ride a motorcycle, it's hard to get out of your system, but who wants to.
