if your dealer wont let you test ride than find another dealer. i've been looking around my area for a different dealer and will make the longer drive for the better sales/service.

my buddy has a fatbob and loves it, i had the change to ride it and it was a nice machine. someone else i know has a fatboy and he and his wife say that it isn't very comfortable.

tell your dealer to go f*** off and find someone willing to let you ride the bikes.

This was big to me (the "in" vs "on" thing) so I went with the dyna.

Glad I did. But I AM looking for a RK to add to the stable. I want a bagger too!
Two good choices Topspin. Road Kings are also terific bikes. (another external dual shock type suspension with a rubber mounted engine)

I've seen people mention this. . . but I've always felt "ON" the Fat Bob, not "IN." Even more so with the new seat. But I love how I feel on the Dyna, and the way that my seat positioning makes me handle it.

One thing is for sure, you can't go wrong with a Dyna!
