Good color on that bike.

They INSIST on delivering it. I live about 6 blocks away. I am thinking I NEED to ride it, and 6 blocks would be a nice first ride no matter what the weather. I might have to get my kilt on, fire it up, ride it back to the dealer, stick my tougue out, ride back home, and smile for at least 2-3 days until the NEED hits me again. 
I am not afraid of cold. Just ice and a little concerned about salt on a new bike. Otherwise I would ride to and from work every day.
I had a 2000 ultra with a stage one (air, pipes, and a power commander III). From what I have heard, the 2014, without adding any mods, just stock, should have at least as much power as the 2000 had with the stage one mods. If that is true, I will be plenty satisified with it. No need to add performance upgrades.
All I need then are simple things that will take only a couple of hours to install. Hwy Pegs, Rider Backrest, windshield bags, air horn, bigger extended mirrors (us big guys need to see around ourselves) and, in early summer after a couple thousand miles are on it, a hitch before we go camping.

I'd let them deliver it. 6 blocks isn't enough to even get it up to operating temps. No way I'd even start her up until I could ride for a while and make sure any condensation in the motor is burned off. But that's me. Have fun, it's a beautiful bike.

Congratulations! I am also looking at selling my 2004 Ultra Classic and buying the 14 Limited. I looked at them this weekend and plan on buying in the next 30 days, just trying to find the best price. I'm with some of the others, gotta ride a lot more than six miles. I hope the weather will cooperate for you!

2014 Ultra Limited
Been a little over a week since I picked her up. I have no real pics yet other than this one at the shop. I will get some up soon.
That didn't work
