Nah Oct 23'rd I was attending the AHRMA event @ Barber's. There was another Ulysses there though that was heaaded out Sunday with hus buddy on a BMW. :-) A real good guy up from Savannah, GA and headed elsewhere after the races.
Did I mention I REALLY like this Ulysses?

The Tiger was my all around "You can do it!" motorcycle. The Tiger has a lot going for but I tell ya...this Ulysses does it Sooooo much better! The suspension on the Ulysses has about 8 more adjustments than the Tiger did. This bike handles! Shift your body and the bike follows. I test rode it for about 15 minutes and thought heck...better than the Tiger but I wasn't writing a check. When I did bring it home...Talk about the grin factor! The Tiger never did that for me. Just roll on the throttle on the rich deep tone of the V-Twin American lump roars.
Don't get me wrong...I liked my Tiger but it just never made me feel real good to ride it. It was sufficient, but didn't stir me like the Ulysses does. I could toss around the Tifger in corners...Ulysses does it better. Tiger had a great engine (955i) I love the Buell 1200.
Ya know....I liked the center stand, heated grips, color, and foot pegs on the Tiger. The Buell beats it hands down though IMO.
Seat comfort! Holy cow! My passenger and I can keep riding. Sure we stop just to stretch but the Tiger seat used to make us stop. Not so with the Ulysses.
