Is the all-new Softail a potent contender?

I rode one. Feels like it should have mid controls instead of the forwards. Also, I don't remember it raked that far. But, it certainly moved. Got it up to 80 with no problem. Definitely different, that's for sure.

That bike makes me feel better about some of the women I’ve messed around with while young and intoxicated.

I thought the new Fat Bob was moving into the next generation with authority. I am still trying to get what the FXDR is all about? Its like the Fat Bob and the Breakout had a party night without consent....

I think it looks badass but that big muffler hanging off the side would have to go PDQ.
