I had ridden bikes through most of my youth and probably owned 10 throughout my life but never a Harley. A friend let us borrow his ultra for a weekend and I decided that I might buy a bike sometime in the future.

Last spring I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had surgery in late spring. At 50 and after recovery I decided “what am I waiting for again?”, and started looking for a bike.

Tried the Heritage because I though they were great looking bikes (and they are). But after driving 2 or 3 I realized the Heritage was just not the bike for me. I am 6,2 at about 230lbs and the Heritage seat was uncomfortable for the wife. I realized that what I really want is the Ultra Classic.

Last Sunday I found a 07 on Craig’s List in San Antonio from a guy that lost his job and needed to bail. Picked the bike up with 985 miles for $16000. The bike still has tire nubs.

Brought it home last night after the 200 mile run to SA. Very little rain there or back as I brought the UC home on a trailer. Rode from the edge of town to the house. Got 3 miles from the house and along came a downpour. The last time I rode my new UC was in the tourential rainstorm.

Thats alright. Clear with a high of 80 today.
