For my final four days in the UK, I took delivery of a 2021 Harley Davidson Road King Special- in Deadwood Green.
I had around 200 miles of pure enjoyment (much of it with Monika on the back), and there was a question in my mind from the moment the big Harley was dropped off…. What would I chose between the Indian Motorcycle Vintage Dark Horse that I tested a few months ago, or the Road King.
I’m a huge fan of cruiser motorcycles, and Harley and Indian make some of the absolute best. So as someone who’s genuinely interested in purchasing a big cruiser when the funds allow, I was very excited to find out which one I’d prefer by the end of the test.
Monika and I headed off for the day to the east coast of England- to the old seaside town of Southwold.
If you want to do some car or motorbike spotting, come to Southwold on the weekend- all the vehicles come out to play. From classic cars such as the Jaguar E-Type, to old 1960s American cars like the Cadillac, and classic Minis- the rage is huge!
