Default Newbie from Missouri
New to this forum and new to Harley's. I picked up a new 2008 Ultra Classic last Friday and have been smiling ever since. I have been riding 36+ years (since I was 12) and have owned severalmetric bikes (including 3 Goldwings) but this is my first 'real' motorcycle. Now if the weather would warm up a little so I can RIDE!!!

Later,
Dave
