Yes, West Yellowstone, not far from the entrance. We went there first on the way to Sturgis. Didn't spend too much time because we got hit by a pretty wicked thunderstorm with hail.

Learned a valuable lessons.

1. ALWAYS take rain gear.
2. Get a face shield and carry it is case of heavy rain or hail.

You guys have to let me in on the secret. Does Harley have magic potions with the shark nosed fugly? The wife thinks I'm crazy. Okay, she's right again, that ain't something new. But why? Why am I drawn to the ugliest bike on the planet? I mean, besides the 1974 BMW.
I started the same way,I thought that it was the UGLYIEST bike I have ever seen,but.....I went to CA and rode next to my Brother-in-law for about 10 days(He has an 05 Balck Cherry RG) and when I got back to TX the 1st thing I did was trade my 1yr old VXT for the 105th RG. I too can't explain it,but I won't ever ride anything else. Even the dealer told me it was Harley's best kept secret,and if I test rode it and liked it,I would never want anything else. She was right. Go Fugly.

Well add me to the FLTRUgly103 club!!! I rode a FLTR in 07 that was a rental with stage 1. Loved it. Told myself if they ever came out with an Ultra version, I would get it. We went and got it Friday and have been enjoying it since. I didn't think twice when the dealer offered me what they did for trade (to get me back as a customer). Love the bike and the Merlot color. I think my wife likes the color over the Shark nose, but all the same. I love the Tour Glides and almost bought a used one... glad I didn't now.

I have an '05 Road Glide that I really enjoy. I realize that bike is from a technology standpoint a few notches behind your "07. Can you provide a few more details re the improvements you see in your new RGU? Those are great looking bikes!!
