New Ultra....maybe
RE: New Ultra....maybe
Congrats on the new bike a little early. If you ride an Ultra you won't ever be happy with a heritage again. Not saying anything bad about Heritages but the Ultra is the "Cadilac" of the bike world.

Dick,
You will look back and will tell yourself, I should have done this a lot sooner. Enjoy that Ultra like I know you will, and the wife will be especially planning a lot more rides and trips in the near future. You're going to luv it.

I have had my Ultra (vivid black) for a month now, 1600 miles so far. Keep asking myself why I waited all these years to get one!! Nothing like it, I'll never be without one again!!!

Congrats on the change to the Ultra.The Hrtg. is a awsome bike but does'nt compare to the Ultra IMHO.The stereo is nice to have and all the storage comes in handy.I know you'll enjoy it.

RE: New Ultra....maybe
WOW!
Thanks for all the positive feedback on my proposed switch from the Heritage to the Ultra. It really makes me feel a lot better. The last hurdle is my bride of 43 years. Was thinking of tricking her into a ride tomorrow and ending up at, "Surprise!" a Harley Dealer.
After reflecting on the last 43 years with her, I better try a new plan. "We'll honey, big day tomorrow! We are finally going to get a chance to take a new Ultra out for a ride!" And she says, "You're not really thinking of getting a new bike are you? You just got a new bike last September!" "We'll honey" I say, "..............." I gotta say something pretty good here and not fall apart. We could have a contest for the best "Well honey" comeback. If I use the comeback and it works, Mac can make a "Hall of Fame" forum, and we'll honor the first winner in there. Remember, I wan't be the last one of us in this position.
Now, I know I can just take the bull by the horns and used the time honored "Harley Man" way. You know the one, "Get you're old nearly *** on the Heritage, we're going down to the Phoenix Valley, where it's gonna be hotter than hell today, and get ME a new Ultra Glide. Do it....NOW!' Sounds good, but the Old Reverend has a little wuss running in his veins these days. So, any help would be much appreciated.

Just tell her your doing it for her. She will be much more comfortable.. I really think if she rides on it she will want it. I think female passengers sell more Ultras than Harley. Enjoy your new ride.
