The other day my co-worker on the way home from work thought he could take me on his Road King. So we both took off at a stop light I wound the Wing to somewhere in the 4500 or so RPM range and got a 2nd gear chrip. I thought, this thing shits and gets it. My 2002 Z06 Vette would get in 3rd with the traction control on. I love this bike even more everytime I ride it.
