Default 35 Years To Fat Boy Lo
Yeaa..you read it correct! 35 years!
Been a little busy the last 30 years or so...military...life in general..right?

Why wait any longer?

I've begged, borrowed and rented! Today...went in signed the papers..extended warranty..etc..2011 Fat Boy Lo! Street slammers..Rush pipes...Bright Silver!

Took the MSF course a few months back-Great stuff to keep my *** alive to enjoy it. (They really DON'T SEE US DO THEY?)

The "Calling All Fat Boy Lo Owners" thread killed me!

I'm going to keep it stock! I swear!

On the way out the dealer gave me my pretty little folder with all my paperwork ....and the new parts catalog! Picking it up on saturday!

Got home...cooked dinner...opened that damned catalog...nice derby cover...sharp looking primary.....smoked lenses...blacked out lowers....the "Calling All Fat Boy Lo Owners" thread....edge cut grips..wheels....bags...GPS....


Ohhhhhh...****.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tell ya....its a freakin conspiracy....thats the only explanation I have right now!!!!!

Congrats on the new ride, and good luck keeping it stock. You know, the bike is just the down payment on the accessories right?

Congrats on the bike. I've got the same sexy color. They probably would have been better of giving you a playboy

nice bike, the silver is sharp. Congrats on slowing down to enjoy the view, especially after 35 years.

Ride safe, start slow, spend alot of time in parking lots practicing, and HAVE FUN. enjoy it!

Dont worry about the accessories catalog, thats the starter kit, lol. Wait till you get to the internet shopping and meet our good Dr Drew.

Muahahaha, and we have another one!

Keeping it stock with parts right off the bat on delivery, love it!

It's an obsession, sir, and we're here to feed it.
