Default Just got my 29th birthday present

Turning 29 on Saturday. My wife & I decided to go all the way on this one. Went with the road glide ultra & traded the heritage on it. Road for 8 hours on sunday & I felt like I could have done 8 more without much issue.

This thing rides like a dream handles way better than the heritage did.
