Default made the jump today
So after having two Sportsters I made a tiny jump today.

2012 Ultra.

SO damn comfortable. Crappy phone pic but you get the point

lol yes it is. And thanks. Very surprising how much better the ultra handles over the sporty. IMO anyway.

CONGRATS! I started on a Sportster 2007 1200L. Really liked it. Then I got on the big bike...and fell in love with the comfort and ride. Wife loves it too.

My first purchase...KEWL!

Safe riding to ya and enjoy!

It's beautiful, man. I started out on a small bike and in no time at all was at home on a touring ride. Enjoy!
