New ride! No new Rolex this year.

I put this in the motorcycle thread, but since everyone is making dedicated threads for their new hot rods... Here's mine!

2014 HD Fatboy. I just put the last parts on this last weekend. About as tuned as a Harley can get without tearing into the engine. Once the warranty is up, I'll tear into the engine and go all out.

Unbelievable low end torque...

The FatBoy is the quintessential HD IMO!
Ride safe, enjoy!

The PCL's are growing on me. My TT 16613 ones scratch much easier than the SS 904l ones do.

As for the bike, I'm an old school kind of guy. Black and chrome will always be in style. Have a good evening. I'm headed back to the man-cave to gloat.

Thanks Sleddog! I'm surprised there's not more Fatboys out there. I'm glad there isn't though. I like breaking the mold a bit. I had a FXDL Lowrider before this (black and chrome of course). I like the FB much better.

Nice Fatboy! I've always wanted one but with a wife that likes to ride on the back, we had to get the RoadGlide. Always loved the FBs though.

I've always liked the Fatboy. If I had to choose a soft tail from HD, I'd choose from the Fatboy, Night Train and Crossbones. Very nice bike!

Very nice.

I loved the FB's from the very first moment I saw it at the show and got the first 1990 delivered to Florida.

Silver/Grey with the yellow stripes was the hottest thing back then.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

FINALLY... I have taken today off, and have all weekend blocked off for riding. Not even going to the gym.

Here is a pic from last weekends ride. Mrs. Piloto and I, as well as our neighbor's Roadking. I have a detachable sissy-bar for when Mrs. Piloto wants to come along, which is most of the time.

I got the wife hooked on Rolex, now I am getting her hooked on Harleys.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Yes, that is the first Fatboy released in 1990 that I mentioned above.

When I was young I worked for Arlen Ness, Bub exhaust, Dany Gray and Performance Machine

The "Rolls Royce" parts

Had a few HD's in those days

Kept one . . . .

Great times ;)

Arlen Ness is the granddaddy of the custom motorcycle industry The man's a legend and now there's three generations keeping that business going. Corey and Zak make some killer customs too Danny Grey's work is second to none in his field also. PM still makes great quality stuff. You must've known Roland when he was a kid.
