Glad to find ya'll. I am a rider that started back in the day with a '73 honda CL 100 when I was 14. I have had several bikes a wonderful wife and 2 children since then. Currently I have A Yamaha '05 road Star ( and my same wife and kids),and a '06 Ultra. I can give you both points of view. Metric and Harley. What the metric guys don't understand I think, is the Ultra I ride now is designed by a rider not by someone that says that this is the way it's always been. From the way the blinkers are seperate, the four ways, the self canceling feature, to the way the oil is checked, the stereo, the air ride, need I go on? My Road Star is a BEAST but It is not A Harley...
I better stop.

Mike
