Something about the melon just GRABBED me and kept shakin'. Had to have one. I really like my 02 Ultra and STILL miss it to this day, but that melon.....WOW! All that hype was deflated shortly after I bought it. The paint was awful. Went to hell and back, twice, to get it fixed. Just like the 02 Ultra, I'm constantly doing stuff to it. Heck, it is spread out in pieces all over Red's shop having the motor built up right now. In my mind, the 06 bikes were the last of the true "rider friendly" bikes. It is highly unlikely I'll ever own a newer bike. I'll own more bikes, but none newer than 2006. I learned a big lesson with the 02 Ultra................I'm keeping the melon.
