Default Just bought a Fat Bob!

I just bought my first hog, a black denim Fat Bob. What an upgrade! I'm new to riding and was riding a Honda Shadow 750 to get my feet wet. It didn't take long before I realized I made a mistake and needed something with a little more power and a lot more...American.

I'll try to post pics or upload a vid to youtube and link it here.

Congrats on the new bike. I was looking at the Fatbob until the Crossbones came out and I sat on one. Now I'm hoping I win the raffle for the Fatbob I've been buying tickets for and I'll use it to trade for the Crossbones. Post up some pics they are a sharp looking bike.

Yeah, that Cross Bones is nice. Just as I was getting ready to leave the dealership I noticed they had a bones in the garage next to my bob. I had to get off my bike and check it out before I left. Nice bike.

Welcome to the forum - great choice for your bike. Once you go fat, you never go back.
