Lol, utter stupidity! After I poured a ton of money and chrome into it, I had one stupid breakdown that left me stranded. It was nothing more than my caliper locked up, but it was enough to make me have a temper tantrum and trade it in on my Road King. I'm not dissappointed in my RK by any means, but boy do I miss that Softy. They are truly outstanding motorcycles.

Great ride today and had two people pull up alongside the Fatboy and give me the thumbs-up. Nothing more beautiful than bright sunlight on chrome. Keep 'em coming folks.

Just picked up this standard back in mid Dec. I've got all the chrome engine covers on the way so I hope to get them changed out in a week or so. Here's a before and After so far.
