Default Picked up my 09 Ultra Classic finally!

Picked up the bike, battery was dead after he demo'd all the stuff to me due to it being on the floor and shown all the time, lol. Got a new battery, took me 1.5 hours to take the 15 mile ride home...not to mention over an hour just getting the bugs off. Pics are kind of bad due to the car and bike being put in the garage all snug. The security system is cool as hell, just have to be within 5 feet of the bike and I don't even need a key to start it (as long as I have the remote transmitter with me)

As far as what people get out of riding a Harley??

Now I understand....
