Default It's so ugly...

that it's beautiful. I should be picking up a Fat Bob on Friday. I certainly don't mean any offense to anyone. Seeing as I'm buying one I must like it. I was talking to my wife and commented on how ugly it was. She responded with if I don't like it then buy one I do like. Oh no, I love it. I don't know how to explain it to her. It's like the original hummer or a bull dog. It's just so wrong it's right.

Style wise it just seems to suit me.When I was younger the whole social scene was a big thing, but now it's more the loner taking to the highway wondering where whim will take me. The style seems well suited for that. Rather than screaming look at me it's grumbling pay me no mind. I suppose one could argue that big fat front tire is screaming for attention, but the tires seem to say it belongs on a back country road without a car in sight.

I think I get what you're saying about it's Ugly Beauty (a composition by Thelonious Monk that I love). I think's it's handsome in a masculine taking care of business way. I love the way it looks, and rides and sounds (stock) and it gets under your skin more and more as you get to know it.

To me, the Fat Bob kinda looks like the Fat Boy's younger, punkish, mischievious, troublesome brother! I think it's a great lookin' bike.

I'm thinking Streetbob on steroids......But I love the look. If I ever trade my LR it would be for a fatbob.
