Bought New Bike

lawdog · 11-21-2010, 12:06 AM

Well it is not new. Bought a 2009 Ultra Classic with 4000 miles. The price was just to good to pass up. Love the ride and the conforts. Still have the nad and not sure if I will sell or keep it. May sell it to my brother and get him to join KawaNOW. If he does that then I can go to the national rally as his guest. Before everyone condems me I loved the nad and still do. But I have always wanted an Ultra. I will never be one of those that think the Harley is the only way. I feel a rider should ride what he likes and can afford and be proud of it.
The nad is a good bike would not have a problem riding anytime.
While here I want to thank all of you for the help I have gotten with the nad. Hope if I do sell the nad that Trip will let me remain a member here the people are first rate here.

A person has to own what bike he wants. Harley's just aren't for me. Never had a desire to own one. They have some that are sharp and catch my eye. Goldwings or Nomads are about all I am interested in. Loved the Goldwing I owned and love my Nomad.

The ultra is a good solid bike. Congratulations...Dakota

lawdog · 11-21-2010, 12:19 AM

Thanks Dakota The bike does seem to be very solid. Alabama I have owned several bikes over the years Honda Yamaha and Kawa can not complain about any of them. I believe they are all well made but all a little different.
By the way we only live probally a little more than thirty miles from each other . Should get together for a ride some time. I live in Oxford and work at the PD in Anniston.

AlabamaNomadRider · 11-21-2010, 12:52 AM

Sounds like a winner. Do you happen to know any game wardens? My son Chris is a game warden and works out of Ashville.

By the way I wasn't putting down the Harley. They are sharp bikes, I have just never wanted one.

I don't ride far when the weather cools down like it has and will be. I take short rides all through the year. When spring gets here I will try and ride down and visit you. Actually it take me about an hour to get to Anniston.

lawdog · 11-21-2010, 01:03 AM

Alabama,
I have one son that lives in Albetville and one that lives in Fyffe. The one in Fyffe also rides and we sometimes get together to ride. The next time we ride if the weather is nice I'll try and contact you and see if u wish to join us if that dont happen when the weather does warm in the spring I will give u a shout and we can set up a day to ride.

Congrats on the new Ultra. See you at the National Rally...

Nomad entusiast are welcome and you certainly qualify !!!! ....that's on the site and at the rally whether the Nomad is still in your family still or not.

Enjoy the new bike.

Congratulations on the new ride lawdog. Tie them together with a chain like we do with 4 wheel drive pickups and whichever one drags the other, keep that one.

**ringadingh** · 11-21-2010, 08:55 AM

Congratulations on the Ultra, thay have always been one of my favorite bikes as well. Who knows, some day I may have one myself. Enjoy the bike, and hope to meet you at the rally.

I wouldn't condemn you for buying an Ultra, and you don't need to justify the purchase. There are others who own Harleys who are members here, so stick around.

**glwilson** · 11-21-2010, 09:31 AM

Congrats on your new bike. I have one of the same... an '09.

In hindsight though... I wished I would have kept the Nomad as a second bike to ride. For no more than I got for it, I should have. Stupid move on my part.

Regarding the Nat'l Rally... you won't be the only Ultra there. I am coming down with around 5-6 Nomads, a GW, and my bike. (The HD's have to stay to the side and remain quiet though!!

)

tomk · 11-21-2010, 09:33 AM

Congratulations Lawdog! I really like the new Ultras and wouldn't hesitate to get one if I could afford it.

ponch · 11-21-2010, 10:23 AM

You know Greg, so do I, but it was one or the other. Some day though down the road, I'll probably pick up a 2008 just to have as a second bike (Mama hasn't been on the beemer yet... ). The 1700 is a completely different machine and I didn't like it as much as the 1600, although it may turn out to be a better bike, who knows.
