Newbie Intro
Hey All,
Picked up my new 2013 UC from Overseas Military Sales and Patriot HD back in early June. Just over 3k miles on it now. My first Harley. Obviously I love it! I came from a 2003 Honda Shadow VLX.
I first rented an Ultra back in 2010, on a ride w/ my father. I was visiting him in FL and he suggested I rent one so that we could ride together, he on a Shadow VLX. The only bike remaining at Treasure Coast Harley for rental was an UC. I was scared and intimidated over it's size, but went through it anyway - time to man up. I was in control immediately, comfortable within 5 min, and seduced in 10 min. What a great decision, my dad would succumb to liver disease and complications from a liver transplant shortly thereafter. Now whenever I ride this thing, I'm reminded of that experience, and the fragileness of life.
I've done some small mods here there, and have added V&H Monster Squared slip ons. I like the sound, and eventually will add true duals, PC V, and the Drak air cleaner.
This forum has been a wealth of information, I look forward to sharing more pix and experiences, and gaining new insight from all.!
Peace!
