Author Message   Thumper1203 Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 06:29 pm:        "Buying my Uly" as the thread title incites.. well, tomorrow is my BIG day! I leave my beach home here in Warrenton, Oregon at 8am and venture south 700+mi to Reno, Nevada via Amtrak, to meetup with the owner of the "soon to be mine" 06' Barricade Orange Uly.. 6700mi, clean, stock, new tires, and not a scratch on it! we negotiated a fair price for all the extras that will come with it, my favorite being the full Happy trails aluminum pannier and rack setup with top box tail mount & plate!.. (& with the outdoorsman racks I just ordered, I'll be able to switch over to the juniors from my lightning for light duty, short hop, commuter setup). Once the deal is done and I'm on my way I'll be traveling to wherever the weather is best to ride, explore and relax for a week or so.. no schedules or itinery.. just wherever the Uly wants to go.. I havn't seen the Grand canyon or Hoover dam/lake Mead yet.. and then back to Oregon by way of the roads less traveled! Bags are packed, best camera at the ready,.. should be epic. Here I go.. 8am the adventure begins   Electraglider_1997 Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 06:32 pm:        Have an epic journey. Take some photo's and share your opinion of your ULY with us.   Tootal Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 06:45 pm:        That's great. I can suggest highway 4 in California just south of Reno. Takes you up over a pass. The road is very narrow and runs between the trees. Great on a bike. Once through the pass it widens yet remains a great road. Yosemite is just south from there.   Thumper1203 Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 06:50 pm:        Hey, sounds good Tootal!, I'll google earth it t-night.. looks like it'll be in my general direction of travel..   Motorbike Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 06:54 pm:        Have fun and please post some pics when you get home!   Orangeulius Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 07:07 pm:        Have a great trip and enjoy your new Ulysses!   Reepicheep Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 07:11 pm:        What a great plan!   Blackdog Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 08:51 pm:        Too bad, you could have bought my much nicer 2009 XT and I'm only 160 miles away.   Ulyranger Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 09:17 pm:        But then he wouldn't have an epic journey home.... Good luck with the new Uly Thumper.   Redtail Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 09:52 pm:        Good luck with your new ride and stay safe.   Thumper1203 Posted on Tuesday, February 07, 2012 - 10:01 pm:        Hey thanks everyone! yep', I'll be taking plenty of pics.. it's not quite spring yet so any landscape subject matter may be a bit, well, lets say bland.. but I'll try to get some Barricade Orange in the shots to brighten it up a bit! Good grief, I feel like a kid before christmas.. gotta' slow down & enjoy this, minute by minute, Blackdog, I did see your bike and contemplated calling.. this 06' just had me wrapped-up with it's pampered history and extras now to be included..   Yo_barry Posted on Wednesday, February 08, 2012 - 09:06 pm:        Sounds like fun! Might be a bit warmer if you jumper over the Sierras to California. Post if you are around Monterey/San Jose/Santa Cruz so I can buy you a brew and get you to reciprocate! Barry Hollister, CA
