Greetings fellas! I have been reading/researching BadWeb for some time now. I value all of your insights and comments, both positive and negative, regarding the Uly. After selling my 2005 Yamaha FZ6 last week, and after a sweet demo ride on Sunday, I have decided to pick mine up tonight. ORANGE for all you haters-in-black out there.

She will cost me about $231/mo. which is completely perfect for my budget, and they threw in the saddlebags at no extra charge.

I look forward to a growing relationship with all of you regulars, and will value any assistance/tips/comments/etc...you may offer up in the future.

Take care,
Dinger

Buy more toothpaste. The ear to ear grin collects more bugs!

Thanks Fat Bastard! I know I will love it. I knew that from the moment it was fired up! Such a nice sound! The wheelie factor is good fun! Just gonna have to learn to contain myself, I suppose.

Nah! Don't worry about containing yourself. The Uly was made for high mileage hooligans with bad knees.

UPDATE!!! Just got her home. About a 30 mile ride on Highway 101 in rush hour. Good times!

I am totally in tune with the bike. It is so aggressively comfortable. A little bit more wind than I'm used to, but when your hear the Leer Jet of a fan singing away, you just gotta pretend you're a C-130 pilot. LOL!

They threw in 2 Buell t-shirts! I feel like such a winner today!!!

Please allow me to thank you all for the warm welcome. I will leave my shoes at the door. : )
I'm gonna go stare at my new Uly.

Welcome to the uly adventure. I used to own a hopped up 100th anniversary road king. Bought the uly last april as a 2nd bike and have put 11,000 trouble free miles on it. The road king sat forlornly in the garage. It had 44,ooo miles on it when I bought the Uly. When I sold it last week it had 44255.
