[QUOTE=M8_Softails;17138324]My Fat Boy. I love it so far. I will be hanging on to this one for a long time...


You know, when harley had the release party in LA and I was able to see that bike, I really didnt care for it at all. Now, I must say...... I think it looks really cool. I love the look, very menacing. Nice bike, love the color too....

This more than anything. I still don't really care for the looks of my FXFB, but my goodness, the ride, motor and handling, like you mention, is what got me to buy. So much fun...

I like the FXFB and had one but wanted to cut down to one bike. It is just a different look. They seem to be getting popular.

I mean all Softails. I'm not a fan of the looks.

But I'm one to look passed the surface for the substance that lies beneath.

I'm one of those crazy idiots that actually puts their money where their mouth is. XR1200, CB1100, SR400, and the list goes on...

I gotta quit looking at this thread, you guys are gonna make me do something stupid. I can't go deeper in debt. When the new Softails hit the dealers floor I went in to look. I liked the Fat Bob the best. Then on a later visit the Fat Boy was the ONE. Then on another day there was a white Low Rider on the floor. Oh yeah, especially after I sat on it. It fit me to a T. This was at 3 different dealers all about the same distance from me. All three of them tried putting key fobs in my hand. From everything you guys are saying I am not getting on one of those temptresses.
