Default Test rode an Ultra Classic today...

and all I can say is OMG!!! I really like my fatboy but my god that machine was great! Now all I have to do&nbsp\\; is to try to convince the wife that we (I) need to get one of these. The dealer has an '08 white pearl with a single gold stripe. I need, I want that bike!!!

My wife begged me to get an Ultra. We got ours last week. I took the last two days off of work, and we have it up to 850 miles now. I can't get her to want to stop riding!

All it took for me was about a mile with my wife on the back of an 06 Ultra and she was all for me trading my 03 Heritage on an 07 Ultra.&nbsp\\; We were both happy!
