Thumbs up
All you have to do is look at which section has the most post in it to see where the real fun is. I have been touring for 19 years now and have owned several tour bikes of all different makes and brands for that matter. My 08 Ultra, my fourth Harley, has finally scratched that itch I have never been able to satisfy. Welcome to the fun side of biking!

Well....just got the bike and took it on a big road trip...put on over 2000 miles in 5 days and saw some amazing country and met some great riders!
The bike ran awesome, and I did not miss the lowrider for one second! I love this bike....check out my photos in my photo album of my trip!
Cheers guys!
