name is cort (cortez cate) live in Arroyo Grande CA...retired Plumber; did, and still do a little, contracting (general & plumbing) for about 45 years...always loved the bikes and rode a lot off-rode when very young...highway miles less than 50k... but i like it still.
Bought a FXD (2007) in 2007 not brand new but like new and rode it until a friend wanted to sell his FLHTCUSE2 that only had 1900 miles on it so i took it at a pretty good deal I think... abt 18k and that was Dec 2012...I have not ridden the Ultra that much but I do like it for the longer rides while I miss the DYNA for the around town ride.
There is a significant difference in handling at low speed and turning it seems to me and I try to practice slow riding when I can...my thinking is that slow riding skills are most important but in no way do I diminish the importance of high-speed skills but rather i think if we have excellent command of low speed skills the higher speed maneuvers will come a little more naturally.
The above is my opinion and subject to change as I evaluate the very valuable contributions made by all of you guys here and on other forums as well. Keep up the good work and keep the great advise coming...there is no substitute for experience in my minds eye but the absolute most valuable advise comes from an experienced rider who suddenly learns something new and shares it. Keep up the good work and communications all of you guys and gals and I sure thank you for your help....have fun riding and stay alert always.....
