Default Hate to do it... but

Bought my 09 Fat Bob and loved it. However the wife didn't like riding on the back and had me buy an 09 Ultra Classic... I know... it must be rough owning 2 new Harleys. However, I seem to never ride the Fat Bob anymore and have made the decision to sell it. Thought I'd run it past this group and see if there was anyone interested. You can check out the ad here:

I want the same bike as far as a bagger goes. (wife LOVES the big back seat) but I will keep my Fat Bob forever and hopefully just add a bagger when I can afford to

You'll definately like the Ultra when you get one. When I bought the Ultra the salesman told me that I had 2 of the best selling bikes that Harley offers and I was getting the best of both worlds. I compare it to having a Trans Am and a kick *** Mini-Van...

Yeah if you ride a lot of 2up, the ultra is the way to go! The fatbob is capable of 2up riding, but doesn't compare to the ride of the big baggers. Congrats!

Even better would be having your wife learn to ride the FatBob!

yeah no doubt. We rented one a few months ago and my wife fell in love. Only thing I hated was with the floorboards and stuff I had ONE place to put my feet down so that took some getting used to but a great ride and the windshield was nice too, oh and my wife never realized how much she missed having a radio.....oh well, she is spoiled now. Gotta do it one day.
