Default Back in the saddle!

Picked up my new to me '14 Ultra Classic Limited yesterday - less than 1300 miles on it with several upgrades from the original owner.

Great to be back on the road again after 5 years! Rained the whole way home and all I could think of was how good it felt to be on two wheels.

Glad you bought a bike from someone that doesnt ride it. You must have saved a ton of money buying that garage queen from that guy.
