Default New Ultra Classic
Well I picked up my new Ultra Classic on Thursday, May 26th. I road it home from the dealer, about 260 miles. I loved it!!! I have since put on about another 400 miles, and I love it more every day. I knew it would be good, but this bike has exceeded all of my expectations. I have planned another 400 miles this coming weekend, and then it's in the shop for the 1000 mile service. I will post some pictures as soon as I quit riding long enough to take some.

Congrats on the new Ultra! We got ours two weeks ago last Friday and can't hardly stay off of it, especially since we got rid of the stock seat and dropped in an adjustable Road Zeppelin. Looking forward to seeing some pictures when you get them posted.

Congratulations on your new Ultra! Iknow just how you feel. I've had mine a month now and have logged 2000 miles. The only downside is cleaning all the bugs off of it. Enjoy and ride safe.

rgerber,

I am also looking at a different seat. How do you like your road zeppelin? How is the back seat? Did you get leather or vinyl? Help me out!!!
