Default How 'do?
Newbie from LA, CA here. Bought an '08 Fat Bob a month ago and can't get off the damn thing. Now, if I could get my girlfriend to climb on back, life would be perfect.

Put the stand down. Put your left foot on the ground and lean way over. Allow your right leg to come up and drag your leg off the bike. Whew! Repeat next time.
