22-04-10 - Harley Davidson Fat Bob

So having ridden a good few Harley's now, I've definitely started to appreciate this massive American Cruising machines, but i think I may have come across my favourite one yet in the Fat Bob, not only is the name apt, with its big frame and chunky tyres, but its gutsy twin really delivers, and in the sun, cruising round tow, I start to fall in love with it!

You should wait for your fuel pump and key light to go off before you start it.

Hi Luke -Max from Aus here. Great review - know what you mean. Test rode last week, buying one tomorrow. It just feels 'right' somehow - actually turns corners and is balanced amazingly well...and that's after I've just spent the last 2 years on a 1050 Tiger!

Good job mate.
