Default Let's call it a "Fat Bob".....

I posted this idea in the other thread about Changing the name of the Bob, but people have stopped clicking on the thread..............

Harley calls the tank of the Street Bob a "Fat Bob"tank. Read the marketing on the web site and youwill see that. That would actually be a GREAT name. "Hey, what model harley is that?" "Oh, it's a Fat Bob".


Sounds pretty good to me...

Let me know if you all like it and I will call HD and have them change it.(yeah right)

Makes sense though...There is a Fat Boy....and then in the Dyna line there is a Fat Bob Hell, I don't care what Harley says..I think we should all start calling it that--I bet it will catch on!

I hate "street bob" so I'm pretty much for anything else - however, I'm partial to Bob's Big Boy and he's fat, so I like Fat Bob next best at this precise moment.

"Fat Bob" and "Something else" seem to be winning.
