Nothing else but the Ultra, if she is going to ride.
I went through the same thing, I was going to get the Heritage but then she said can I ride and I said sure. I went straight to the Ultra with no regrets.
I might add if you are buying a new bike just bite the bullet and get the Limited....

Do you like your wife to go with you on every ride? Can't start mine up without the wife grabbing her helmet! I would go with the Ultra, naturally!

Good advice here, I would definately look at the Limited. Lot of goodies for the money!! 103 motor, Chrome wheels, Oil cooler...ect.

The way I see it, he has a much bigger house, nicer cars, but I really don't care about all that.

All I want is to have my wife ride with me on some of these 500 mile lunch rides that the Fl. crew does. She will be ALOT more COMFORTABLE on an ultra, right?
If you guys ride together, he may not want to be seen with an old guy and his bagger, if you get an Ultra. You should just go ahead and get an Ultra and join the ranks of the OLD guys.
