Default Finally....

Well, after debating between the Road Glide Ultra and the Ultra Classic for a while now, I went ahead and picked up an Ultra Limited. I really liked the Road Glide's lighter handling, but in the end thought the batwing was a better fit for my 2-up touring needs. Decided on the Limited after crunching some numbers. It didn't seem like much more and I prefer the cleaner look of the front bumper and saddle bag guards. Anyway here it is and I know I don't have to tell you all that the pictures really do it no justice...





I think I need to work on my biker scowl.

I'll give a quick shout out to Frederick (MD) HD too. They gave me WAY more for my BMW trade than others offered and still knocked a good chunk of change off the Ultra. They were also patient and let me take my time with extended test rides (more than once). They even offered to let me spend a 1/2 day each on the bikes I was comparing from their last years rental fleet, at no charge, to help me make sure I was making the right choice.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to logging some miles on it this year. I think I'll start planning my trip to the Smokies now.

Hard to scowl sitting on a Limited (unless you ran it out of gas I guess)

Congratulations !

Nice bike. Just got a 12 Ultra EG here and loving it. At least the few times I could ride it due to the weather. Hope you have many safe, enjoyable miles.

A smile would have been nice, but it is a serious business buying a new bike. I guess the smile will improve as the miles roll by!

Truth be told, she simply snapped the picture before I knew she was even taking it. I guess the pissed off look just comes natural for me. I'm smiling on the inside though. LOL

Either touring would've worked, but nice choice w/the UC. Gotta love all those creature comforts + bling. Congrats on the new scoot & even though it's a Harley...you can smile (unless there are missing teeth)...
