No need to worry, if you can't ride, you can't ride. As for the bike itself, there are new bikes at the dealership that have been sitting for over a year. Make sure to change fluids next year and maybe you can ride it more often.

Very good point about the bikes that sit at the dealer. Guess I never thought about that before.

Ride it! I love Dyna Fat Bobs. Wish I had one. If I did I’d be doing my best to wear it out. What do you mean winter is almost here? It was 85 degrees in Dayton today. I about burned up. I ride year round as long as the roads are clear. I’ll be happy to ride up to Columbus and take your Fat Bob for a spin whenever you want. It’s the least I can do since I can’t afford to buy one of my own.
