Hi to all,
I got a 07 K12GT last April. It had 1400 miles.
If you have any questions about riding in RI, feel free to contact me.
I had a 99 R12C for a few years and rode that on the Blue Ridge and out to Colorado via Rt.50.
I traded in the R12 and still miss it.
I still have my 97 HD Sportster.
I just got back from a 2,800 mile trip through the Blue Ridge Parkway, Smoky Mountains and Chatahoochee National Forest.
To look at a few photos:
