Welcome to the bb, londona. I'm in a constant debate that "sunny socal" ain't so sunny. Of course, it's gotta be better than the constant gray of England. What bike you looking to get? Enjoy your time here; we gotta great group of people.

Cheers, Nice to be here. About bl**dy time !!
friend of mine bought a new fatboy back in 1993 in London.
Decided then and there that I had to have one.......... one day.
Would never consider riding back home, life expectancy of a rider in London is probably about 5 days, but here in Orange County SoCal, the conditions are great and the wide roads are full of old geezers like me so,
6000 miles, 4 kids and 2 wives later decided it's now or never.
Been looking seriously for about a year now and ready to finally live the dream.
Have my name down for the new 15th year anniversary black fatboy, but none of the socal dealers can tell me when they will be getting one.
Anybody have any fatboy pros or cons that I need to know about?
Please don't make me reconsider !!!

Howdy londona, I saw a picture of the 15th anniversary FB and I think that you picked a great looking ride. When you finally get it, I hope that you enjoy every minute that you spend on it and also hope that you enjoy your stay here, I have.

Welcome to the forum londona,

Great thing about the bike is after the wives are gone, bike's still there!

Good luck with your purchase, you'll love it.

would you believe it,
an hour after posting this I had a call from my local dealer that I have spoken to many times.
Has 2 new 15year anniversary fatboys coming in next week and one of them has my name on it if I want it.
Put the phone down, drove down and put down the deposit.
It's gonna happen !!!
