Well, this morning I took a 6:30 flight from La Guardia down to Raleigh to pick up my hardly used '08 Uly! It had 414 miles on the clock when I handed over the cash. In fact, I rode more miles today back to NYC than the total mileage on the bike at the start of the day! The seller was a stand-up guy and the transaction was smooth as silk. No misrepresentations or problems of any kind.

I was so busy riding, I hardly took any pictures, but here's one:



I hit a bunch of traffic in the DC area and the fan seemed to run quite a bit...even once I got back to 30-40mph...it seemed to stay on for quite some time. But I guess that's normal when it's hot. It was probably close to 80 degrees when I was in traffic. And speaking of traffic...traffic SUCKS on the Uly! As soon as you let the clutch out, the bike wants to go at least 20mph. But I guess this is old news. I just need to avoid traffic : )

Anyway, I'm really psyched about my new ride.

HID low beam and a set of PIAA 510's will be among the first mod's.

It's true, the Uly doesn't like going under twenty, and in that we both agree ;)
Congrats on the new ride Tipsy I know you will come to love it more each ride.

He said he just got back into the Reserves and his time for riding will be limited.

But he had an '06 Uly before the '08 Uly, so I know he's a fan of the bike : )
