Default 1st HD

I bought my second motorcycle ever, an 09 Ultra Classic, last July but am just making my way to the forums now. Upgraded from my first bike, a Honda Shadow 750 to the Ultra deciding that I didn't want to upgrade from bike to bike, I'd just go right to best of the best.

I gotta say, I couldn't be happier. While I wasn't a HD fan at first, I had rented an older road king once and hated it, the dealer gave me a free weekend rental of their Ultra for me to test drive it and I was hooked. The bike handles like a dream, especially for the size.

This is a great source of info and I'm looking forward to learning more.

See ya all around.
