Bought 2018 Fat Bob
Been in the market for a new bike for a couple of months now ... had done my research and was going to go for a Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber ... and then HD had to release the new line ... months of careful research and financial calculations out of the window ...
Went to the HD dealership near where I live, just to have a look see in case they would have the new line up already ... this being Belgium I figured I was reasonably safe since the official launch here is 30 September.
Well I was wrong, they had a white Fat Bob 114 I wouldn't mind owning on the floor accompanied by a black 107, a Breakout and a Road King Special.
Fate I guess ... Shouldn't have sat on it.
Now have to wait till first week of October as the paperwork isn't in yet.

Going to be a hoot indeed. Will have to be very very careful not to loose my license.
The detailing and finish on the bike is outstanding! Better than expected. Also (hard to see on the pics) but the rims are engraved with the words Harley Davidson. Only noticed that after signing the paperwork.
Surprisingly I got a 600 voucher without even asking for it. Didn't figure there would be freebees on a new model.
Well it was either this one or a sensible Heritage, now happy I went for the not so sensible choice.

This one is matt white, so easy to keep clean and no need for polishing.

Maybe the guys at the dealership have a solution. Already glad we don't have to have a license plate in front like I had to have on the Xbones in Malaysia. That was really horrid.
