We went to a staff xmas doo at the partner's boss's place yesterday to be greeted by the host as soon as we got out of our vehicle. I was quickly whisked into the toy shed to be shown his '08 Fatboy (anniversary edition whatever that means). I was handed the keys & told it was my job to take a few guests for a ride around the local roads.
First job was to find where to put the key - to be told "in your pocket will be fine".
Pootled off to the road for a familiarization with the beast before unleashing all that power a little later. The hill I found must have been steeper than it looks as I waited for all the grunt to kick in!
Found my way around the locality & gave it a decent handfull on the way back & tested the braking before his gateway. I was really pleased a handfull only gave me 130 clicks ( yes I checked whether it was mph ) otherwise I would have overshot the driveway by a considerable margin. I'm sure the Busa or ST would have stopped comfortably from twice that in the same distance!
Various "dollies" were taken for a pootle to see how nippie it was before returning it to it's home to see it still only had 1500km on the clock after 3 years ownership....
