I'm in ...been looking at getting a Harley for over 5 years with each year getting harder and harder to deny it. I'vebeen renting to scratch the itch but finally pulled the trigger and put $ down on a new'08 Fat Bob last Friday. Probably waited too long but sure amlooking forward for Spring and Summer in a big way now. I have been trolling your forum here for the past few months as an outsider but decided I should join now that I crossed over. Keep up the great site and community folks. I'mlooking forward tohearing the advice, recommendations andseeing moregreat examples ofthe creativity and amzing workso many here put forth making their bikes their own. I will get pictures of theBob up online when it comes in.

Game on ...

Welcome from upstate NY. I like you, recently bought my bike and I'm patiently waiting for spring to come around and for the snow to go away. Anyhow, welcome again and there is a ton of great advice from the folks here.
