Default Ridin the Glide

I finally did it, after 10 years on a Honda Shadow 750 I upgraded to an 09 Ultra Classic. I thought about going older and cheaper for my first Harley, but decided i wanted the new frame and ABS.

Put about 600 miles on it in the last 2 weeks and I'm Loving it!

Even the OL is getting into it, she hardly ever got on the back of the shadow and so far she has done at least 150 miles on the Ultra.

I just wish it wasn't so D@*% Hot here in Phoenix.

I think I've picked up quite a bit from my lurking, but I'm sure I will come up with some ?'s.

Congrats! I had many years on Asian bike, the last several on a 750 Vulcan. It's a different world now. Enjoy your ride, welcome to the Forum.
