Default Demo ride

On Friday the local HD dealer had demo rides. I rode a 2008 Screaming Eagle Ultra Classic. WOW! That thing rode like it was on rails. Very quick and plush. It would take some getting used to but I could manage. With the Screaming Eagle package and factory custom paint, it was priced at 30 grand. YIKES!
