......and it sure felt great being back in the saddle after not riding for the last 9 years......
3 of my buddies from our Fire Company came out to escort me home on my (new to me) 2003 Fat Boy....

Couldn't be happier with this bike, just gotta get used to the floor boards, and the heel kick shifter....(never had a bike with this kind of set up)
Sharp bike - I like that model/paint. You can always yank the heel shifter and run just the front. They even make a chrome cover for the spline - I just painted mine black. Without it give a bit more space to move your foot around. Don't know what river you're on but you could always ride it down to Daytona for Bike Week to get to know it?
Congrats! Looks good man, yeah I think the heal shifter just gets in the way too.
One of the 1st things I did was take it off. Just one of the many things you might want to change to make it yours.
