My boys got the Uly all tied down and she is headed south now. Should be here in Richmond about 10pm....no matter how many bikes you have had it always feels like CHristmas when you get another one that is new to you....cant' wait to ride her....looks like a little late evening test ride and then we have another 80 degree day tomorrow....whoooo, hooo

For unknown reasons, I was more excited about getting my Uly than the other dozen bikes I have had. It continues to speak to me to this day.

Enjoy!

I brought my bike home a 3:30 in the afternoon on a glorious afternoon in June.

I promptly rolled it into the garage and drove to my folks house for dinner. : |

Nothing worse than having a new bike that you aren't allowed to ride yet!

The October day I bought mine, I promptly rode about 80 miles to Crystal mtn ski area, and cracked open a cold one with a few buddies while taking in the view of the Washington Cascades. So much for the factory recommended 50 mile sissy break-in.

What a great day it was!!

36,000 miles later, and she still friggin' rocks my world!!!

BTW, Firstbatch, I like my girls tied down also.

Ft_bstrd,

I feel your pain on that one. I couldn't ride my Uly for a week. Took that long to get it licensed in CA.

Rode mine home the first week in January in 20 degree weather. Dealer was 40 miles away and I had 120 miles on the odometer when I pulled in the driveway. Changed the oil & filter today and warmed it up with a short spin. 20 miles later I realize this is a warm up ride. You're gonna love it.
