Default progress report

I've had my new Ultra for 5 days now, and it's everything I expected it to be. It runs great, handles real good, and has plenty of zip for me. The extra's are just icing on the cake. I'm very pleased.
The wildest time was when I picked&nbsp\\; it up at the dealer, pulled it out the door and went to fire it up. there was about 10-15 riders standing around watching me with these big S__t eating grins on their faces. I had one too. I fired it up, kicked it into gear and promptly stalled the engine. I think they were waiting for that Anyway, all is well, I 'm enjoying the ridi and learning more about the bike each day as I gain proficiency. Will post some picks soon.

Bought my 07 UC 13 months ago and I still have that grin! I only have 4000 mi., but I have not had one hiccup out of the bike. (There is one tiny scratch on the bottom of the right crash bar. Not tellin' how it got there.)
