Went and did it, ditched my 2012's and got me a shinny new Ultra. Still figuring out the gadgets, but really love the bike. Smoother power band for sure and I think the tranny is actually a little quieter . The CFRs were a nice addition as well, sounds great!

Congratulations, you'll love it. Attach it to a battery tender, place the ignition on "ACC" and play around with the stereo. You'll get it figured out quick.

I know how you feel about the weather. I moved here from Michigan after 56 years there! I really don't want to rub it in (cause I know what living in the tundra is all about ) ....... but it was 80 and super sunny today.

Good idea about the battery tender and figuring out the "stuff", sounds like an evening in the garage tomorrow night!

Congrats and log as many miles as you can with that big smile on your face.

For us, northeasterners, spring will come and we will ride for sure.

Nice, looked hard at that color before settling on the midnight pearl. They're great bikes - ride safe.

I was back an fourth on color. Made them push many out in the sun light to look at. I kept coming back to the orange (looks a shade red in sun). If the weather holds out, road trip Sunday!
