Cool

Thank you for your service to our country! I've had a Road King and Road Glide but was looking at a SG last August. Took the wife with me and we both liked the look of the Ultra in the red/merlot. Test drove it and took it home 2 days later!

Sweet bike! Enjoy your ride!

A just reward, and a good memory! Thank you for your service, now enjoy the freedom of riding that beast you so rightfully deserve spending 25 years to protect!

Congrats!

Funny you mentioned, lol, your color was what I wanted in 2010, but nobody could locate one for me. Ended up waiting till 2011 and ended up falling for the cool blue color . It really looks good in the sunlight!
And I know I speak for a lot of us that would rather have you home and safe than in harms way. I again salute you for your service and God bless!!
