Default Excited to be getting back into the saddle again
I sold my 05 wide glide when I retired six years ago.... I'm finally getting another bike. A new Fat Boy, should be picking it up tomorrow if I can get done helping a friend move. I love the looks of the FB and bought without even test riding it. What can I expect, comparing the FB to my old WG? Man I feel like a kid at Christmas..... can't wait.

I might be wrong, but I'm thinking the Fat Boy is the all time best selling HD. Congrats! Enjoy!
