Default False claim of Fattys designed to drop atomic bombs on Japan

I was on snopes looking up something else and happened on this. I'd never heard this one before it's crazy!

this has shown up here before...... however, since i am a FatBoy owner/rider I tend to believe the story - makes as much sense as anything else.

Yeah and the 50mm holes in the wheels on the new ones have nothing to do with the 50mm guns on the B-52s. And the tank emblem is not designed after the aircraft emblem. What else doesn't match?

The yellow bands on the 1990 model make one wonder?
