Default I finally got the alphabet bike aka FLHTCUI

Yup finally had enough of the dyna on long haul rides found a deal on a Ultra & on the 2 hour ride in the high desert sub 40 weather I couldn't be happier. I thought Harley had a great bike in the Dyna but after riding the Ultra... I get the tour bike thing. Photos to come soon.

Shhhh! Don't tell everybody.
Next thing you know everyone will have a bagger!
I've sure enjoyed my FLHTI for the last year plus

ps, it's Seventy here in Little Rock. I just got in from a nice long ride. Whoo Hoo!

I understand riding in your area. I used to live in Trona. It can get very hot and very cold. I could not ride in comfort on a Dyna. I guess I'm getting too old. I need my windshield, Saddlebags and nice seat for my fat little butt.

Ride safe.

Seeing how my dealer can't keep Ultra's in his place, I think the secret is out. ENJOY

IMO the Dyna Super Glide is one of the best looking bikes, but I ride a Road King. Congrats on the new bike. It already sounds like you're having fun.

I've had one Dyna and 4 Ultra's. I really enjoy riding the Ultra. I get all the fun of riding and having all that fairing/windshield has greatly lengthened my riding season!

Enjoy!
