Congrats on the new ride! I've met some of the best and most real people who are Harley owners. I think you and your wife are going to enjoy your new ride and meet great folks along the way.
Glad our weather is starting to change. Hope to see you in Defiance or Augusta! I'll definitely come say hi. I started on mini-bikes then to old Honda road bikes to crotch rockets and I got my first Harley in '97 and have never looked back. I love motorcycles, all kinds, but for me, for most times, I choose the old fashioned, rather outdated design of a V-Twin.
Welcome to the forum and to Harley Davidson. Invest in toothpicks to get the bugs out of your teeth because you'll have a perma-grin from now on. Ultra will probably be my next bike. Give us a more thorough review after a few thousand miles.
7even, Congrats on the ride, and the Mrs. being happy.
I was a "Honda guy" all my life (47 now) with brief encounters with a Yamaha and a Suzuki. Until last year, I was off bikes for 19 years. Wife and I had been talking about getting another one for a few years, but just never really got that bug to stick. That is...until I rode my buddies Harley. That did it, and now we have an Electra Glide Classic.
Guess what I'm saying is...it took a Harley to do it, and I didn't know it until I did. Glad you understand now.
