Couldn't agree with you more. I own a '95 Fatboy and love riding it more so than my '08 Electra Glide.

In todays bike market you could have easily found one cheaper...but I doubt you could have found one nicer...nice score

Thats a great buy mate.
I bought my 84 Softy for $16,000 Australian, but it looks a bit Like the Billy Bike which I was after.
Softail that looks like a Hardtailed Sporty so to speak.
