I got her home and then started putting on the goodies. It is really fun tinkering with your machine and making the adjustments to get her just right!

I am really looking forward to some long cross country rides!

See you on the road!

Saturday I traded in my Heritage...and my fatboy on an 09 Ultra. I also added another 4k in goodies. I 2nd you on the handling...it's un freaking believable! I'll post some pics after the rest of the goodies I ordered come in & get put on.

Ultra owners unite! Congrats to all that just got their new Ultra. You made a great choice. It's what I'm waiting to get. Why did this economy have to go south before I bought a new ride? Let's see what 2010 brings....

thanks bigsky,
I'll just second what everyone else has been saying, very nimble, great handling, just plain easy to ride!!!

I rented an 09 roadglide and then the 09 ultra, put about 400 miles on each in 24 hour periods, fell in love with the ultra, my wife said no way she would let me get anything but the ultra after spending a few hundred miles on the back. my wife is absolutely in love with it as much as I am, as I mentioned before, she said that was what she wanted for her 10th wedding anniversary present! dont rent unless your planning to buy!
