Default First Harley 2014 Fat Bob

Just bought my first Harley. I've always been a sport bike guy, but NOW I see what I've been missing.

Looked at lots, rode a few, ended up with a Fat Bob.

I could not be happier with it. I am very surprised with how this bike handles... The big front tire goes over potholes, cracks, dead things in the road...and I have scraped my boots a few times leaning it through turns.

So far, so good!

I've been riding since I was 16. I'm 40 now and I bought my first Harley in 2011. I've owned mostly Honda's over the years. A few 70's CB's, an Interceptor and a couple of CBR's. The thing I noticed when I started riding my Harley was that with the sport bikes I always had a smaller engine but wanted to go 100+ MPH. My Harley has a much bigger engine and now I just want to sit back and enjoy the ride. Anyways, Welcome!
