Picked up my new-to-me '06 black Uly last night and had a transcendental, "so this is what riding is all about?" 60 mile trip back to Chicago. Despite brisk 40 degree temps, I didn't want to put the bike in the garage. I'm beyond excited about riding this year. More soon (with pics). - Scott

Congrats Scott... just be thankful you have a beautiful black one. Some Uly riders have had to settle for the less appealing orange color.

Welcome and congrats Scott! J777 will will get you set up on the black Uly therapy forum - orange ones are appealing....and waaaaaaay cooler. 4 out of 5 dentists agree.

Dentists are nerds.

99 out of 100 Cool Cats agree black is infinitely better.

A lot of pent up frustration and anger in those black Uly owners... I think it is envy

"It's like, how much more black could this be? The answer is none. None more black."

"I think it looks like black leather."

Say it loud - we're black and we're proud!

It's all the bad boy image associated with the more macho black color.

Orange is the volvo of the Uly color range. : D


Like a giant orange safety helmet.

Of all the colors a Uly should be, it should be CAMO. I have a head start on ya, I am trying to turn my M2 into a Uly.

""Just to mix things up, I think I'll paint mine brown""

Are you thinking a dark dark brown, almost black, or more of an orange-ish brown?

Actually a dark chocolate mocha or raw umber, something tough. But I guess it would be a darker brown.

I strongly dislike (hate) these tiny pics we are forced to use on this otherwise great site almost as much as I would strongly dislike (hate) having to log into a pic hosting site and navigate around to find a pic I had filed there in order to post it here.


That just might be a cool lookin bike if I could see it. Compliments to you Mnrider anyway!

Congratulations Scott - they are a great bike and there is plenty of information around on the forum to sort out all the little niggles that might crop up.
Spring is just around the corner for you guys on the top side of the sphere so get out there and have a ball!

congrats on the new Uly! and selecting the beautiful black color is far better than the road-grader orange color!
