Default Harley Newbie
Just found this forum the other day. Informative, intellegent, just plain Awesome!
Picked up a new 2007 Fatboy a couple of months ago. Also a 2003 Suzuki LC1500 Intruder
I have very little knowledge about Harley motorcycles,when I purchased my FatBoy, the sales person asked if I ever road a big cruiser. I answered yes and he handed me the keys, showed me where they were to go to start the bike, and said have a great day. What an idiot!
I drove away like a kid on Christmas Day with a toy that I didn't want to share.

PS
I haven't thrown a leg over the Intruder since I bought the FatBoy!

Cheers
