Default Why have just one?

Love my new ultra. Have an older road king custom that I'm keeping but when I got on this new ultra I told my sweet young thing wife that if we got started riding it we would never get off.

I traded my beautiful but realatively undriven cvo springer for it. I have put more miles on it in a week than I did on the springer in six months.

Is my addiction to Harleys worth it... Yes!!!

Yep, once I got my SG I didnt even look at my CVO fat bob...
That was when I sold the 2 in order to get a CVO RG...
All in one crazy year...
Oh, kept my 2008 SB (to many mods to list) for my son to ride..
Wife wont get on a bike (great at times, not to good some other times... just like any other thing in life)

Our first bike together 06 road king custom that's set up for touring. We stopped at Latus in OR and looked at bikes. Later that night we compared notes and it turned out that we both picked the same bike out of a couple hundred. Later I bought the bike, took her on a ride and proposed to her. She couldn't resist the Harley so she said yes. We put spokes on it, added some classic look elements and frankly just like it too much to part with it. But for a really long ride, it will be the ultra...
