Default Second Bike

Let me start by saying I restarted riding last year. At that time I was able to find a low mile 2004 Ultra for a steal. So as we move forward, the wife at age 62 decides she wants to learn to ride her own bike. She buys a XG500 and is progressing well. She then decides that we need to keep the Ultra for the times that we will ride 2 up but that I need a lighter bike to ride when we ride solo. Yesterday I bought a
left over 18 Fat Bob 114, Believe I found one hell of a deal that I am happy with. I know if you are happy with the bike and happy with the deal it is a good deal anyway you look at it. 19095.00 out the door with the grips and pegs I wanted GAP insurance, 5 year extended warranty S&S slip ons. So in my opinion It was a great deal. Now the fun begins. spent about 2 hours on it yesterday and man is it fun to ride.

I got a feeling that a 2004 Ultra is going to be for sale come Spring.

OP, sounds like you got a great deal. I scored a pretty good deal as well on a 114 Fat Boy this weekend , but sounds like you made out better than I did. Congrats!!!
