Default Too good to be true.....

Hello everyone.....What an awesome site. As a first time HD owner it's comforting to know the concerns I have about my ride have been dicussed and solved somewhere within the forum. Thanks to all who make it happen...great job.

My dream has come true....after years of desire, I finally got my Softail. It's a 2000 Fatboy, all chromed up and it's sweet. I'm still getting to know her and I must say she's the prettiest bike I've ever seen (and I've been looking a while).

Thanks for incredible resource. [sm=happy046.gif]

Welcome, Phat. For me, the Fat Boy is about the best darn motorcycle Harley makes, or anyone else for that matter. I love mine and you will love yours too. Ride It!
