Well, it's official. Picked up the Fat Boy a little while ago, rode for a bit, but it's just to windy today to really enjoy a long ride. But, man oh man, what a difference. Same roads I normally rode on the sporty felt completely different on the Fat Boy. The handlebar swap to the mini apes, and having the bike lowered were the smartest things I could have done. I even liked the windshield which I was iffy about. I can't get pics today, stupid camera battery is dead, charging it now though.

Haha, missed this somehow. I already have 2 helmets, one Harley, and the then one that I actually like.
I do have Harley boots, hey they were on sale cheap, and actually fit pretty well.
My dealer gives you a free t-shirt when you buy a bike, so 18 more bikes to get to 20.
I don't know if a Fat Boy could hold $5000 worth of chrome. Sounds like a challenge.
No, never, put a sticker on my vehicle.
