Cool Hey Everybody

It's been a good while since I've been on the forum, I retired from regular work, been playing slide guitar in a blues band, and doing a lot of ridin. I'll be trading the 08 Ultra for a 2012 RG Ultra in about 2 months, and the final both positive and negative thing is another knee repacement. BE safe, sure feel good to not have to get up if I don't feel like it

Heel fast. Get back in the saddle as soon as possible.

Ya, it doesn't take long to get use to getting up when ever you want and you can pick the nice days to go for a spin during the week. If the knee doesn't work out for you, there is always the Tri Glide. I had to do the switch and I am very happy with the Tri Glide. Enjoy your retirement, you earned it.
