Default Ordered my 2012 Fat Boy today!
My birthday's coming and I've been saving up for a new Fat Boy. My wife surprised me today by saying, "Hey, we better go order that bike if you want to have it in time". She offered to pay the diff between what I had, and what I needed, so, Happy Birthday to Me!, and kisses for my wife!

Enjoy the new ride. Very elemental feeling compared to your current bike, but really allows you to feel more involved with the ride. Happy Birthday, too, and you should really keep that wife....dd50/tomp
