Default Sat on an Ultra today.........

[sm=badidea.gif]

Stopped by a local Harley dealer today with my 06' RKC to use the facilities. 07' Ultra in front of the door, man is that a nice machine! It's been less than 24 hours and I have my RKC up for sale and a custom color Ultra on order for next spring. Anyone looking for a nice RKC ? I just can't believe the comfort and beauty of that machine, I just never looked that close. Sorry, I just had to share!

Paul,

It gets way better when you actually get to ride it. I can't believe I waited so long.

la la la la la... I'm not listening

I made the mistake of letting my wife see the new ultra... now she wants me to get one... It ain't happening... I love my RKC.
I told her there was a minimum age requirement before the dealer would let you buy an ultra.. and I ain't there yet.

I went to the Harley shop to purchase the Road King and after sitting on the ultra I had to have it. I've owned a lot of bike in the past and have to say this is the best machine I've ever owned and the best part is my wife loves it to!!!

My Ultra is the sweetest motorcycle I have ever owned. Even at 5 years and 49,000 miles, I have no intention of trading this one in for a new one. While riding today, I reflected how quiet it is running, yet has plenty of power to pass. It rides firm but sure, and handles like a lightweight. Music in my ears, two way communications with other bikes, intercom with my wife. I've been through all kinds of weather, it handles it all. I can carry all I need for trips.

There is just no finer touring motorcycle made, IMHO.[8D]
