When I can get the garage door open and there is less than a 40% chance of rain, I ride mine. Broke a torsion spring on the garage door Monday morning and couldn't get it fixed until today (Tuesday). Been Jonesin' to get on my bike!

I ride about 70 miles round trip from south of Houston into Houston. At least I don't need to ride the Gilf Freeway!

Oh, yea. The 40 mpg on the Ulta beats 13 mpg in my pick-up. Bike almost pays for itself just in saved fuel!!!!

My ultra is a great commuter. 25 miles to work and about 75 home most days. get off the fence and get on an ultra, you won't regret it

Yep, similar to Rem - ride my Ultra down here in North Carolina any time it's dry and above freezing - which is year round. Got 24K miles in a bit over two years.
