Default I feel so bad for other HD riders not on a 114 fatbob.. :)p

I bought a fatboy last week, testbed rive the 2018 fat Bob this week. Traded my fatboy and a brand new kawasaki Vulcan s Cafe at a $3000 loss for thr bob. I feel bad that other HD riders can't have as much fun as they could on the Bob! p jk. Really though, this thing is a beast, I never would have thought I would pay 25k OTD for a bike.. This machine is excellence, brilliant, exhilarating, masterful, and safe! Bike of the year in my eyes for sure.

Yeah no doubt. Ive never been an aggressive rider, never felt safe with that riding style. The Bob has changed that.. I'm in love.

enjoy it! I stopped by the dealership an the sales guy told me they had a left over dyna S he'd give me a hell of a deal on! Guess the dyna crowd are moving to the softail frame they used to bash after all.

I've ride a total of maybe 8 or 9 different bikes. The kawasaki Vulcan s Cafe was one of the funnest bikes ever, I never knew how under powered it was until the 114 fatbob.. Lol the fat Bob is even more fun to ride and so much more powerful. No more all bark no bite lol.

This is not the old Softail frame...not by a long shot. I'm just relieved it delivered the handling performance we can all enjoy.

Elliot, congrats on the new Fat Bob. Looks like a heck of a fun ride...

Whatever you do, don't look at he dyno chart for the stage II torque cam....you'll be spending a little more $$$...or add to the cart with your street canons. I'm usually not an SE/warranty guy, but these 114 motors keep me smiling as is and I'm happy to have the peace of mind. It really doesn't "need" anything. The modest SE gains are just for extra fun while these mills shake out the bugs. We can always break the rules later...enjoy!

Also...remember the bike won't make you superman. Sharpen your skills and knowledge to go with your new found hooligan machine. Pushing the edge can be fun AND safe with the right approach. Gear up too.

Congrats on the New Bob, I'm really starting to like too. But 25k? Wow, did you have accessories installed on it?

No, I rolled over 3 grand from the kawasaki. It was worth it to me. I wasn't going to let that hold me back from this bike. Apperantly it's the first 2018 fat Bob sold in San Antonio.
