Default Moving In

Just moved from the Softtail's to my new home. swapped the Heritage for a Ultra so thought I would say "What's up" and I must agree I do enjoy this new ride more.

Congrats on the new ride. Quite a different ride eh???? Rode a Heritage for a day before deciding on an FL. I made the right choice. I think you'll have the same opinion.

I started with an EGC. When the stealer gives me a soft tail for a loaner I hate it!

Glad to have you here, congrats on the new ride. After looking at the pics of your Heritage in your gallery, it appears that a touring bike is where your heart has been for a while. That's a very attractive young lady you have in your gallery as well. Your daughter?
You and your passenger will be quite happy with the UC.

Default RE: Moving In

That was the exact migration path I took over 2 years ago... For the first 5 months, I had buyer's remorse. I like the "feel" of the Heritage, the seating position, and the way I had the bike set up. 5 months after making the trade, we were out in Phoenix and rented a Heritage. Wow! I had really gotten used to the Ultra, and now 2 years of modifications into it, I don't look back. Would I like something like that for around town? Sure, but the extra's on the Ultra make it road-worthy both for the highway and also for hanging around town...... Yeah, that's why they call it the "Ultra."
