2014-17 Lowrider & Low Rider S
#131
I've actually backed off a bit from the Fat Boy and am looking at an 18/19 Low Rider (non-S/ST), with a 107. A set of tires for the FB runs almost $600, just for the rubber. As cool as the FB 114 is, it may be a little too much for me. Decisions, decisions. I definitely want ABS, whatever I get.

I couldn't find a Low Rider to my liking with ABS. Surprisingly (to me) that most don't have ABS. I ended up zeroing in on a 2022 Fat Boy 114. It's a private sale, and I'm hoping we can do the deal in the next week or so. Waiting on the seller to get his lien release. I still look at pics of my Dyna and I get a little emotional!! We spent a lot of time together.

Just returned from five days touring Yorkshire and the Lake District with three friends. Lots of slow little roads so only 876 miles in total, but wonderful scenery and it only rained at night so we didn't need our waterproofs. At around 43k this bike continues to deliver.

I've owned my Low Rider longer than any other bike I've had; done many miles and made lots of memories and friends. I thought I'd be keeping it until it completely failed. That said, with the deteriorating state of roads in UK I'd sometimes wondered about some kind of adventure bike, but nothing seemed either right or affordable or attractive. But then an affordable, low mileage, three year old Moto Guzzi V85TT turned up and, having taken it for a test ride, I agreed to trade in the Harley for it. My only sadness was the poor trade in price on the Harley, so I asked around and just today the current European president of God Squad purchased it from me, at below market value (he couldn't have afforded it otherwise, so he's happy), but above the trade in price I'd been offered (so I'm happy). I pick up the Guzzi on Tuesday. The picture is of the new owner with the bike (he's keeping his Street Bob which he's had for years and has covered 160,000 miles! He does his own spannering, and has changed the cam chain tensioners a few times, just to be safe).
So, it's farewell from me on this forum. I've really appreciated the friendship, encouragement and help I've received here. Thank you all. Bike safe and may the Lord bless and keep you on the road ahead.
