Talking I have a new mistress and her name is Fat Bob

Palm Springs Harley Davidson delivered my new 2010 Vivid Black Fat Bob this morning and I couldn't be happier. This is my 2nd bike and my first Harley.

This bike is a couple hundred pounds heavier than my Wee Strom, but it feels much more stable, especially at low speeds. Much more enjoyable to ride than the Suzuki, for my style of riding at least. I couldn't stop grinnin' while I was out on my maiden voyage.

For your viewing pleasure, I've attached a crappy picture taken in a messy garage. Enjoy.

Thanks, Man. I have a bunch of stuff in mind, but I'll have to take it slow since I have more ideas for her than I do spare coins.

Congrats! I remember my maiden voyage back on 1/29/08 like it was yesterday. Hi 30's / lo 40's, overcast, and I wasn't ready for that cold at all but the smile on my face riding home the 40miles or so was irreplaceable.

Many happy and safe miles.

Right on! Gratz' on the new scoot. Looks awesome. No better feeling then riding a new scoot. Just you wait till you throw some pipes that make your harley actually sound like a harley. Then you won't be able to stop grinnin'!

Uh oh, the V-Storm guys are going to reject you now!

Believe me, I know, I used to have a DL1000 and last year I attended a V-Strom rally at the Dragon, with my HD, and got my fair share of flack from them. I surprised the heck out of them though once we went riding.

Congrats on the purchase. Dynas are great bikes. I couldn't be happier with mine, and although I did like that DL1000, I'm happier now.
