Default First time Harley owner

I just bought an 08 105th Anniversary Ultra Classic. It is my first Harley. I have been riding Triumphs and BMWs for the last 7 years.
I was attracted to the Harley brand because of the great bike the Ultra is, the large number of dealerships all over the country, the bling Harley and other manufacturers offer and the rides and gatherings. It seems like a great package. I hope it is as good as it has looked.
