Default Hey from Cuba...

Hi, I just joined the group now that my mid-life crisis is in full swing and I just took delivery of my 2008 Ultra Classic. Yes, you're seeing right, I am in Cuba...Havana to be exact. I'm a Canadian working here and dreading the inevitable return to the snow and cold of Ottawa, Canada...but at least it's still a good two years away. In any event, I love my bike. Switched from a Metric (VTX1300S) and can't believe the difference. Should have done it a long time ago. I'm pretty sure it's the only 2008 Harley in the entire country...although there are lots of pre-1959 Harleys here that I ride with. Amazing bikes and amazing guys that keep them on the road after all these years with no access to new parts.

Cheers, eh!!!
