Default Picking up new bike tomorrow!

Hello all! Tomorrow I pick up my 2012 Fatboy Lo. I am trading in my 2004 1200 sportster. I was given the opportunity to test drive the new Fatboy out in Sturgis several times, and fell in love with it! This will be my first big bike, and I'd like to hear from those of you that have had this bike for awhile, what you think of it. Thanks!

I do not have a Fatboy Lo i have the Fatboy and i can tell you after 5 years of ownership it tick's all the boxes as an all round bike and it's still the best designed bike in the Harley stable .... I wish you safe riding ... oh! and by the way there's a bug out there you can catch that's don't drain you just your $$$ if you don't know what it is you soon will ...
