They don't seem to ride very well when they're flipped.

Great looking star,congrats !
As to the Road King,I have a buddy that bought the fireman/firefighter fuel injected model a few years back (he has since sold it) I rode it one evening and personally was NOT impressed.It had a fraction of the torque of a R* and I felt like I was sitting very high in the saddle.
It did have great throttle response but that was about it.

Re:Just added to my stable. 1 Week, 4 Days ago  
Still haven't been able to get the bike to my shop yet. The ice in my driveway finally melted away yesterday, however, the driveway at the house the bike is at is about 1/4 mile long and still ice covered. It's lined with trees and gets no sun. The weather forecast says it's going to be a warm week so hopefully I will be able to get it soon.

Can't walk the bike down the driveway, can't get to the garage from the street to the garage with a vehicle. They are parking their cars at the bottom of the driveway and in the street. Only way to get to the house is walking in the snow along the sides of the driveway for traction.
