With all the COVID bs going on it’ll take a couple weeks for an appointment at the RMV to get my permit. I’ve waited this long, what’s another couple weeks. Super excited to hit the road!!!!

    Bought a brand new Fat Boy in 91 after returning from the Gulf War and saving 90% of my pay for the 9 months I spent there. I never thought I would get rid of it but I happened to see a beautiful 92 FXR that had been completely gone through and fell in love with it immediately. The Fat Boy was a comfortable cruiser but my FXR is a full tilt boogie type of Harley. It's now supercharged, very quick and handles better than any Harley I have ever owned. I just wish it was a bit more comfortable on a long ride. Definitely fun in a canyon carving up a highway though

During my Motorcycle safety course on my Fatboy which i lowered, i knew my Bike floor boards scraped during sharp turns, I let it scrap, the floor boards fold/pivot. knowing your bike is Key to riding through obstacles, in the Safety coarse many rides straighten there bikes when they heard the scrapping noise & failed to hold the course & had to circle back again. knowing your bike stopping power is also Key, for myself i Know the rear tire is going to slide so i'm prepared knowing to keep the front wheel on coarse, " Not Losing Control" OK Every rider, Safe Thump Up.

    Thanks so much, love your Fat Boy videos! I'm getting a 2012 in 2 days. Never had a Harley, and haven't had a bike for over 30 years. I've been riding other bikes, so I feel I'm ready.
    What camera and microphone set up do you use? Keep the videos comin'!

    That handlebar is a 10-inch right? You didn't have to lengthen the cables. I like the stock handlebar but often find it uncomfortable, I would like to change it but the APEs on the Fatboy I don't like. I like yours

  • @thomasbarnardjr9657

    Sean, I got nothing but respect for you, but it's a fact that the front rim can affect the ride. We've got bridges down here that have cross winds that will push that bike right into the next lane. You love the solid front rims... that's great for you. But I myself, like many others don't. That's for the rider to decide. All that being said, I wouldn't let the front wheel scare me from buying the bike, but it would definitely be changed if I did. I don't need to grow up to know what I like and what I don't when it comes to riding. As a rider, the biggest selling point of a motorcycle for me is the ride. And anything that affects the ride of a bike needs to be considered. And the wheels of a motorcycle are a big part of that. All this said, that's just my opinion and my thoughts on the subject. Like I said, I think you're a great guy, and I love the test rides you do.

    :-) I have got a blue 93 Fatboy with under 8000 miles in almost new condition. I bought it for almost nothing and I wanted a project bike. In the end I just could not modify it as I fell in love with it as it was...

    I owned a '95 Fatboy. It was a great bike but I don't like any softail for two up riding. In reality they have about two and a half inches of rear suspension travel. Stock Fatboys like in this video are awesome. When people start adding bags, windshield etc. they quickly lose their charm.

      @@andrewsavage1872 this is why the Bible says show not your alms before men. But do them in private and the Father that sees will reward you in private. This man loves to show his good deeds but when another Christian came to him and asked for a dirt cheap deal he scoffed at me and shamed me.

    You can't go wrong with a blue bike. My friend said I wont buy a bike unless it's blue. I said you're wrong. The last one was green. I had it painted blue.
    I have a blue Heritage and a matching blue Sportster but my Fatboy is black...for now.
    That is a beautiful Fatboy.
