Default Brand New Fat Boy!!!! :-)

Well gentlemen (and ladies if there are any on the board), I took delivery of my brand new 2004 FLSTF today!! I haven't been on a bike in 6 years so I was a bit nervous about riding a 700 pound bike, but the Fat Boy is the most balanced bike I have ever ridden. Just turn your head and that is where you go. I forgot how good the wind feels blowing against your body at 55 mph!! The bike is cobalt blue and sunglo yellow pearl. She's a real beauty. I will post some pics in the next couple of days. By the way, if anyone in the Atlanta area is looking for a dealer, Cartersville H-D (a division of earl small's) is the best in the area. I bought the bike at MSRP and it only took 3 days from the time I filled out the credit app til the time I was riding. Got a helluva financing deal from Harley as well. Go see Dennis or Bobby at Cartersville for your next bike purchase and you will not be disappointed. The best sales, F & I, and customer service of any dealership I have visited in the last 3 months.

Thanks,
Jeremy

If you purchased your Hawg on Oct. 30, I purchased a twin of a different color the same day. I have not been on a bike for 15 years until my son purchased a R6 Yamaha. The fever took hold and a 04 Fatboy now sits in my driveway.

Like yourself, my last bike was a 1962 Harley which required lots of rider input to start and stay running .. having not touched a cycle since 1976 (showing my age) cruizing on my 05 "Fat Boy" has been a real pleasure and one I have missed for too long - ok, kids needed to be raised, sent off to college and all the bill paid - now its my turn.
