I have been riding for over 20 years.....started on a 75' sporty and went to 96' EG classic. Put alot of miles on the classic till this last August I had some guy in a car come into my lane.....well it was the ditch or the front of his car. I will be able to walk again by the end of the month. I now have a 09 ultra {red hot sunglo} that I can't wait to climb on. I loved that 96 classic and I have been told that the differance is unbelievable... Can't wait to ride the 09 and see.
