In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.
After 37 years of owning motorcycles, I did it-

Life is short that's for sure, glad you're taking advantage of it. Ride the heck out of that thing.
The Fatboy is one of few HD models that resonate with me. Ever since Terminator, I've kind of wanted one. Really glad you are alive and enjoying life!
"Why the Hell not" indeed.
Have fun with your new ride but please, no Pirate gear.

T2 was the reason. Saw the bike in that movie and I was hooked on it. This one has efi and a different, slightly larger motor, but is essentially the same bike.
Glad your still counted among the living.... Congrats on the bike. Enjoy!
Nice! Enjoy it!
Don't ever take a test ride on one of their 2014 and up Street Glides, or you'll own one!
ASK ME HOW I KNOW!!!!

Just saw this thread...sweet bike. My neighbor at our old house got one and he loved it. I've been eyeballing a similar 06, loaded ultra classic, for the last few weeks...it's calling but I'm doing my best to not listen{lol - too many other irons in the fire at the moment}. That's one of my bucket list bikes.
Watch for harness wear...heard the efi will cut out due to harness chaffing/shorting....something about vibrations on a harley...Idk....
Mind how she handles in the curves...the dreaded HD wobble seems to be slowly increasing with no easily answered reason why at the dealers. Our few neighboring towns who run cycle cops are drifting away from HD due to that unresolved issue...I don't see what the fuss is all about as that has to be one or any of the following- head stem bearings, wheel bearings or swing arm...or yes.
Happy riding!
For cool V-Twin cruisers, it is still hard to beat the V11 Guzzi Californias. They handle better than most GS models.
I'm still not at the point of going to the "Dark Side".
I did, for the first time since 1977, move away from a Suzuki and back to a honda. In 1977 it was a 1974 Honda CD550F. Today I'm not the proud owner of a 1998 Honda ST1100. Now I'm ready for some open road.

Maybe once my Honda-potamus wears out...
Congrats on remaining among the living! I was fairly surprised to see how many basket-cases like me frequent the Goldwing forums, where one long-lasting topic is "Should I Ride Motorcycles While On Blood Thinners?". Over on those forums, though, there are the trike crowds too -- trikes with crutch-holders and such.
There aren't too many machines that sound as cool as a big quietly-muffled Harley idling away. There's that primary whine that always reminds me of cops. I wish more V-twin owners would realize how cool their bikes used to sound.
