Well hey congrats on the new ride. I take it you went from an '06 to an '06? Well good for you. A touring bike will be next for me too but that'll be a few years down the road. Enjoy it!

It is a nice ride. What made you decide to move up to an Ultra? Your Deluxe with those bags was perfect. Just kidding...good choice.

I bought a bagger over the weekend, I just could not let my Night Train go after all that we have been through.

The funny thing is that I wanted to let my wife drive the NT, however, she sat on the RK and putted around a little and decided she likes that one better.
It does not bother me because I picked out both bikes and I enjoy riding each of them.

It may be blasphemy to say in the softail forum, that the RK is a better handling and more comfortable ride.

You didn't jump ship. You jumped off of the boat and onto the ship. Congratulations on the new ride.

Regards,

Bill
