Default New bike!

Well, I finally took the plunge and traded in my '07 Street Glide. I had a good copy. No major problems in the ten years I had it. Welcoming my 2017 Ultra Limited. Wife said don't settle, get exactly what you want, and here it is. I hope I have an equal number of good times and trouble free days that I had on the SG. I can't upgrade very often, but man these bikes have changed in ten years! Safe riding everyone.

Sounds like a good choice in the bikes AND the wife!
Be grateful for both (Actually all 3!).
Best wishes, and ride safe!

Wishing you many happy and safe miles. Life is a lot easier with a wife like that. I know, I have one too.
