Default Took my 2012 Ultra Limited home yesterday !

After trying to deal with a dealer close to my house on a 2011 Limited, I called the salesman I bought my 09 Ultra from. He gave me a great deal on the 09 so I thought why not. He's 25 miles further away but wtf? I told him about the first dealers offer and told him what I wanted added, Stage 1, SE pipes, download, and about 2 k in chrome. He called back and told me he beat the other sealers offer by $1,000 and then said he would knock my socks off. He said how would you like to own the first 2012 Ultra Limited in SC. For the same price the first dealer offered on the 2011. Plus he threw in the first service.

Rode home about 80 miles last night, what a sweet ride, plenty of power, and I swear it is lower than my 09. I'm 6 feet but with a 30 inseam and I can flat foot this one with ease ! Anybody else get one yet?

Guess I'll have to change user names, no longer have the red/gold 09 Ultra
