There are indeed new models of Harleys that I couldn't ID. I've probably heard of or seen them, but that's it.I do know there is a Fat Bob, but I just had to look to verify that it's a dyna and not a softail. Ho Hum.

That's what happens when&nbsp\\;they read off a Teleprompter, aka "Dummy Cards", or have someone off camera feeding them info through their IFB ear piece.

On the TV in the gym this morning a female announcer on NBC's Today Show says this guy is riding in on a Fat Bob (reading her cue cards very diligently) and the male announcers chide her saying it's a Fat Boy and that Fat Bob is probably the name of the rider.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; It was, indeed, a Fat Bob.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; Losers!
Maybe that's what they got in their IFB.&nbsp\\; You know what that is, don't you, or are you a loser?&nbsp\\;
