We do but it is a ways off, and prefers all red roses. $13 a dozen usually since it is not a holiday for which flowers are common.

As far as colors go, I do like black but a nice Cobalt blue and maybe some candy paint would be an improvement. They just need to stay away from the bass boat flake they use on some of the current paint schemes

I do different colors every time on roses.

Your right on the bass boat flake colors!

Fat Boy looks good & Forty-Eight looks pretty good as well.

Good to see the Fat Boy still has the solid wheel despite all the safety concerns with crosswinds.
IMO the wideglide died when they got rid of the rear fender.

They cancelled the Wide Glide for a year as well and brought it back, so we just wait and see.

Did you see the size of the tires on the Fatboy, no need for concern it will stand up on it's own.

Probably to silence the critics of the solid wheel when they are fighting cross winds.

Except for that blow up doll I had. The rose thorns would puncture her. She had so many patches she went from Shannon to Sha-nae-nae
