New to the forum and going to be new to HD. Planning on buying a 2016 Dyna Fat bob in the next couple weeks. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

well... the fatbob is the ugliest bike Harley makes.

But if you like go for it, dynas are awesome bikes, and IMO the single best bike to have since you can rip around town or travel across the country with them and still be comfortable.

Welcome to the forum and the madhouse

Test ride every Dyna you can so you know you've got the right bike for you; but be sure you ride a Wide Glide last. That's when you'll know you've found the King of the Dyna line... Biased? Me? Na.....

Nice score! Hang around there is plenty to see as long as you don't put "forum blinders" on.

You have a Wide Glide so I suspect you understand this; the Wide Glide isn't easy to ride. She's a harsh mistress, that's part of her charm. She's demanding, insistent, and expects exactness when you push her. I get more satisfaction riding my Wide Glide through some of the rather twisty roads we've got around here than I ever did from my R1; when you ride a Wide Glide you'd best have your techniques wired tight. The Wide Glide's not for everybody; that's why HD makes the Low Rider...

Seriously? I go to every demo day that every dealer, HD and metric has; I ride everything I can get my hands on; I'm not an HD owner, I'm a motorcyclist that happens to like HD's. The Kawi and Honda dealer know my first name. I ride the hell out of their bikes. I've got a real love for the Ninja 1000 with panniers; I'd never sell my Wide Glide but may just add a Ninja 1000 for those high speed runs I take with the sport bike/sport touring group I ride with...
