I for one could care less if it is called an anniversary bike, I like the 08 Ultrain those colorsand just might end up pulling the plug on one but haven't decided yet. I work for a dealer so will get one at a good deal if I decide to do it. Decisions, decisions.

Hey, I liked the90th, 95th, and the new 105th. The 100th just did not appeal to me. Everyone has their own favorites.

Enjoy your bike. At least you got one that you can still maintain yourself if you choose to. I'm mostly screwed with the EPA stuff (cat mufflers), computer,andEFI on my '06. My favorite is the '02's --- but the '03's ain't bad.

Dang, I do this every year. The new ones come out and I check Kelley Blue Book to see what mine is worth either as a trade in, or if I can sell it myself. Compare that to a new Ultra or Road King. I am floored by the difference, this time about $13000 if I am lucky. My 02 needs geared cams, seat repadded, and some new grips, and it will be good to go. Six gallon gas tank? That'd be nice. 96 TC? Maybe. The six speed? I am not impressed so far. Other than that, what would $13k bring me in satisfaction? I guess I'll go spend a couple more thousand on the 02 and see what happens in a year or two. I might be dead by then, who knows?

Your '02 Ultra may well be one ofthe best all-round bikes that HD has made. Do what it takes to keep it running and enjoy it!

I agree, i think you should state your opinion AFTER you've seen them first hand, and just move on.

I like the Fatbob and the Rocker, well at first not something I would own but since looking at some pics I may have to retract my statement.

I do like the Copper/Black along with the Denim Crimson
