Default FNG Here!

Hey all,

I've been lurking for a while and finally signed up. I'm a new rider and got a yellow 2011 Fat Boy a couple of weeks ago. Looking forward to hanging around!

Welcome aboard! You'll enjoy it for sure. Lots of good folks to ask questions and get ideas from. Lots of crazy nice bikes around here too.

2 quick pieces of advice so you dont get yelled at: Buy a service manual, and learn to use the search function, lol.

Have fun and ride safe!

Nice choice. Did you get that at Woodlands HD? I stop there whenever I come down to that part of town.

Welcome to the softail section. No one ever gave me that advice. I got yelled at over and over and still do sometimes.

Yup, this was their fit shop bike for a bit and they decided to sell it. Right place at the right time.

Welcome and congrats. I like the color and it should be easy to find in the parking lot.
