Thanks for sharing! Good way for anyone who is thinking of another Harley model to try them out. Lee on this forum tried an Ultra for a few days. Guess it didn't connect for him, but at least he didn't have to buy one to find out.

Exactly.....I think everyone should rent one first....I bought mine because the old man was giving it away!

From what I hear, they ask for a pretty big deposit in order to rent one....$2k at least!

Yes, renting good. I'm thinking of trying (renting) a Heritage after the 4th.

I rented a Heritage about a month before I bought mine. Gave me the opportunity to drive it for a day and then jump on the bike I owned and compare. I think the deposit was $1000 and I ended up paying about $150 for 24 hours of ride time. That price includes insurance incase you wreck it.
