I Love Lucy
Lucy Smathers from Antelope, California, started as a passenger on this bike with her husband eight years ago and bought her first bike, which was a nice little 883R with a 1200 kit. Then she graduated to this sweet two-tone Road King and has been riding it the last four years. The latest modifications are a single front brake conversion to expose the 21-inch front wheel. Lucy, who also has the need for speed, installed a big-bore kit with Screamin'Eagle heads, hot cams, True Duals and some fishtails.
Don't Mess With Texas
Steve Miller, who is a dyed-in-the-wool Harley guy, has been riding since the age of 18. A lifelong Texan who resides in Lubbock, Steve bought this bike at Wild West H-D and is going to ride it the way it is but may add a bit more chrome in between all the miles.
