Hello all, just joined up. I ride a 2000 Ultra Glide. Have had it for a year now and must confess that I have a sickness. I just can't seem to get payed at work without going and buying something for the bike. But I do ride it a fair amount, put 17,500 miles on it this year. This is the first full size HD that I have owned. The other three were Sportster or Sportster powered. This Ultra sure is comfortable going down the road. Anyway the weather is warm here in Florida so look me up when down here and lets go ride.

Welcome Dean,

It's 18 and snowing in Illinois so I don't wanna hear anymore about how great the weather is in Florida (j/k). You deserve good weather down there having to look out for all those 100 year old Illinois transplants driving around.

Stick around and have some fun with us here on the forum. There are some great people here who are willing to help with any HD problems you have. Hell, we'll help you with your personal problems too if we can.

Ride Safe

Welcome to the forum from Louisiana. A lot of good folks and a lot of good knowledge here. I know what you means about the paycheck and purchasing something for the bike. I don't know of another things better to spend you money on unless it's your wife, if your married.
