Default Heal up & get a FatBoy

One week later, a deer clobbers me and totals my Dyna! Video of my deer strike

I need to heal, won't be riding much this year, but I am already looking at Fatboys.
Ouch!!!

Get Well, Heal up, & Go get you an M8 FatBoy! I've put a ton of miles on mine and I even kept it when I got the RKS.

What in gods name have you done to that rear tire? You've murdered it. Mine look only kind of used at the same mileage, and I am not nice to my tires.
WTF you doing?

Fran, how did you get the idea to use a 260mm rear?

I dont remember who but someone here suggested it.
Originally I decided against it and went with a 240 tire, because someone said they were getting mid turn wobbles with it.
But after riding corners as much as I did and interested in more performance I said **** it and decide that a 260 was worth at least trying.
