Fat Bob

[Maha]

So I took a Fat Bob (1690) for a short ride today, Harley cherry popped one could say, very impressed with the gearbox, sounds outstanding through the Vance Hines pipes, all n all not an unpleasant experience. Its currently residing in our garage and could be there for a few months yet.

At a $30K + price tag? I would think not.

took a fat boy for a fang a couple of months ago........at one point wound it round to the stop in second gear,held on a bit tighter expecting great things...........ho hum......nothing really exciting about it at all..........the only thing that got my adrenalin going was when we bottomed out the running boards in the not so twisty stuff..........they should be called scrapey boards

Noooooooooooooooo! don't do it Mate.
I've been looking seriously for a bit of a change, but you know what, I'm stopping wiv me bandit, spoilt is what I am, nothing wrong with it, does everything well.
No cherry popped on a harley here, but you never should say never.

Any bike with running boards should be sent to the dunce corner.

Won't happen Mark, love the Tiger for too many reasons to even contemplate not having it.

If it is ridden it is a motorbike.
If it is not it is somewhere between art and doorstop.


You wouldn't want to deprive a bike of its purpose in life would you?
