greetings

hi all, i more than likely live on the other side of the world to most of you people, but i'm glad to be here. i test drove 4 bikes today, and its down to a "fatboy"or a "softail custom"!.....well ....i'm from australia...ya know ...wide open sweeping planes etc,etc. my shortest ride on any given day would be about 250-350 miles....i love riding

.......... my current bike has foot boards (running boards, not foot pegs ), now the "fatboy" has boards and the "custom" has pegs, which would you guys consider better for long distanceriding? thanks. looking forward to reading and hopefully contributing more on this fantastic forum
"cheers"

RE: greetings

Howdy and welcome from The Republic of Texas! I'll defer to the Softail crowd for their opinions on which is more comfortable, but I have a buddy who has a Softail Custom and he loves it. Rode it to Sturgis from San Antonio, TX a couple of years ago with no complaints.
