(Abovel Day two, somewhere In Indiana: For long-distance touring, the HarJey-Davidson
Ultra Classic and Its bagger siblings are still my first Choice. There are other great
tOUring machines on the market, but none evoke the same free-spirited sense of
adventure in me like the HarJey does. My mount of choice Sported the license-plate
number 48NF, and 01' 48NF and J got a a'ong Wonderfully for two full days before some
other JOumalist made off w'th her on the final day of the ride. Not to worry, I got a hold
of a European version of the same model and liked it even better because, get this,
It was quieter. Stricter emission laws mean the Euros have to run qUieter
pipes. That made the Ultra's all-new in-dash CD player/stereo
much easier to hear. Go figure.
