Hi-jack by all means. I'm looking for opinions of the ride. need all the info of what to expect and to look out for.

 

Liking a particular bike is a very personal thing.

Things I like about the Fatboy:

* It sits low. I am 5'8". It is important to me that I can flat-foot the bike to enable me to back it into spaces, etc. I had a high-sitting bike once and it was a mistake.

* The Fatboy controls wonderfully in tight turns such as right-hand turns and freeway off-ramps, some of which are tight in California. This may be due to the low center of gravity and wide handlebars. The fat tires also seem to help.

* Stable on the freeway.

* Love the forward controls, the heel shifter, footpads. These are possible add-ons for any Harley, but standard on the Fatboy.

Anyway, just some thoughts.

 

Think I found one I want. waiting for a shipping quote

 

Make it an adventure. Fly in, ride back. That's what I did in '09, and on a Sportster no less.

 

don't do planes, claustrophobic. but I can do 100 on a bike, go figure

 

on the bike YOU are in control... and not confined :-)
