Default New Ultra

Drove home a new 09 Ultra off the showroom floor Saturday. Red Hot Sunglow. Traded in a Yamaha Road Star and there's no comparison. Got 300 miles on it already, don't want to get off of it. My first Harley, never knew what I was missing!

Default Congrats!

Congratulations!!! You picked the best color available (I bought a red-hot-sunglo ultra Nov 12th!). I went from a 1983 Harley and it was a big difference, I can imagine the huge difference from the Yamaha! I've only got 140miles on mine, unfortunately there is too much snow around here!
