Picked up my '14 Ultra Classic this morning at 9:30 and rode it pretty much all day. Little background...

I have been a Goldwing owner for more years than I care to share, but it's been a while. It's primarily been due to the fact that my wife absolutely would not be caught on a Harley, as she says "she's not a biker chick" and to her, a Harley is for ruffians. Hey, I'm just telling the truth. As for me, I'm 48 and have heard over and over the horror stories of Harley reliability issues, etc. over the years. Anyway, months ago, I read about Rushmore and decided to begin researching. Long story short....

I have not yet gotten the Stage 4 done yet (Jackpot header is on backorder) however, I have to say, the bike is, in a word, awesome. I have loved every mile that I put on it today. Yep, it has that new bike smell and I have around another 700 miles for breakin however, everything, from the nav to the sound, to feel, to the vibration is more than I have words for. Yes, it really does move the soul.

And here's the kicker; First Day, First Ride, First Everything on a Harley and my WIFE tells me, without me asking, that the Harley is more comfortable for her then the 'Wing (a 2001 GL1800)... I am rarely speechless, but was in that moment. And to top it off, she even purchased a Harley jersey!

HARLEY.... who'da thunk?!?!



'Wings are great bikes, and I won't bash 'em however, now that I have truly ridden a Harley, for me, I could never go back... The Harley is it. Love it!

 

Welcome to the Harley family 7!

You'll love the '14's. They are just on another level in my book.

Also glad to hear momma is liking the new ride. If she ain't ain't NO ONE happy lol

I am not being funny when I say that I could never have imagined. The bike is truly something special! And you're right, Momma is HAPPY! LOL!

 

Welcome to the Legend of motorcycles. Nice bike. Congrats. It won't be long before your wife too realizes that "it's NOT just a motorcycle".

 

Thanks! I truly, truly love the bike. Exceeded all of my wildest imaginations. And you are so right, it's so much more than just a motorcycle. I am still awed by her response... But I love it!
