Default It took 2+ years...

I joined the forum about 2+ years ago from Iraq. Fell in love with the picture of the 2008 Fat Bob and had concerns as to whether or not it was too much bike. Fast forward 28 months...

Just bought an '08 Fat Bob and rode it for the first time today. It's unbelievable. For a first motorcycle, it has the perfect amount of power, handling is amazing, and it just feels like it was made for me.

Thanks to everybody who replied to me back in '08. This is a very supportive community and I really appreciate the help. I am now a proud HD owner.

Matt
