RE: The Fat Boy Is Home!
Thank you all very much for your well-wishes. I'm going to take your advice and take things slow, "one day at a time," and take the MSF course in the spring.
jackhammer: Love that custom paint job!
Citoriplus: Sounds like a good plan for you. Me? I'll be glad to be on someone else's bike when I start practicing those tight turns!
T 3: I remember doing that the first winter after we got the 'Vette.
blueduece: I'm pretty sure the very first thing I'll be doing this winter is swapping out the exhaust for something a little louder.

I agree. I've had mine for a month and above 25 MPH the wind noise is louder than the engine. I feel safer in traffic if the surrounding autos hear me but I don't want to be obnioxious. I put a set of Rush mufflers on with 2" baffles & the sound is exactly what I wanted. Rush says no EFI mods are required with this muffler setup & the Harley dealer agreed (he was also the Rush dealer who sold them to me).
By the way, beautiful bike.

So I'll wish us both luck to "survive" the "itch to ride" winter blues that are sure to come soon. Damn don't you wish it was the end of March and warming up about now instead of the middle of October with the entire winter to look "forward" to.
Good Luck and I hope the weather gives you lots of time to get reaquainted with two wheel riding.
