What he said! :icon_that: ;) :) :icon_beerchug:

I know right? Can't we all just get along and enjoy our toys? Critiquing a bike is one thing, but all out slamming it to make yourself feel good and others feel bad is just BS. I didn't purchase my bike because I cared what other people think, I purchased it because it is the right bike for me. That said, I freaking LOVE the new CVO Street Glide in Gunship Grey. If I was in the market for a bagger, I would be ALL OVER that bike! I can definitely see myself owning one in the future :)

A little off topic, but I have to say your Fat Bob looks pretty sick!!!

Again... off topic, but had to say nice bike man! Always loved the classic look of the Deluxe... white walls and gobs of chrome... she's a beauty. Cheers!

Congrats on the new ride!

I've been to a couple dealers since the roll out of the 18's, and the fat bob seams to get a lot of attention. This kinda surprised me, as I am not a fan of the looks. I agree with some, and even told the salesman that it reminded me of an old CB750 with the squared off tank.

I did talk to a guy that just came in from a demo, and he was smiling ear to ear, and said it was an incredible bike.

I will admit, it takes me a while to warm up to the new styles. - when the road glides were redesigned, I hated them, 11 months later, I bought one, LOL

OP, enjoy that new scoot, and be carful out there.

Dude, when I first came across the fat Bob it looked like an uglier version of the old yamahas. I thought it was ugly and wondering what the heck Harley was thinking. 3 days later, for some reason, I HAD to have one.

How can you buy a Fat Bob and make jokes about feeling bad that other people aren't riding one, and already want to trade it for a Heritage, Road King or something?

I'd say Harley has found their target audience. Instant gratification / short attention span / quickly bored young person willing to camp out to buy the newest phone.


I was enjoying your thread and was happy to see somebody enjoying a bike that speaks to them, but then you lost me at that point.

By all means, keep frequently trading in. It puts a lot of late model lightly used bikes on the market at a discounted price.

First, let's start with the fact you don't know anything about me. Taken that in to account, you made some pretty big leaps in reasoning. I can explain it to you, but I really shouldn't have to. No worries friend, I will, it's simple really. My wife wanted something where she could ride with me. The Bob CAN accommodate nicely but it will take a rather large amount of money. She finally had an opportunity to join me in San Antonio, as we live 300 miles south of this city and I'm here for work, shes not always with me and I don't always communicate with her on things I buy. I suppose in this case I should have but it is what it is what it is.

And I'd say you jump to conclusions with little to no facts or correct information, I won't assume your age or education level, but I would say Sherlock you're not.. I buy what I want and work hard to be able to do so. If I want to trade it in for any reason and can afford to do so, who are you to judge?

Harley loves these kinds of people. You're pretty much renting their bikes

Also, the title of the thread is not indicative of the intent or meaning found with in. I simply don't judge other ESPECIALLY for thier bike of choice. The meaning was simply that HD did a fantastic job creating a new, extremely fun to ride bike, and I believe everyone should try it, it's very unique.

Not true, but if it was please explain why that's a bad thing?
