Talking New to this forum and to harley riding :D

Hi guys,
Thomas from Geneva Switzerland. I just bought a 2008 Fat bob in Black Denim with about 23 000 kilometers on the clock.
I am new to Harley but not to bikes, started a while back on a Honda NSR 125.
After that went to a CBR 600(2000), CBR 900(1995),Kawasaki ZRX 1100, Kawasaki Ninja 636 (for track days but didn't ride it much). Then a new Honda CB1000R one of my favorite... This summer I started looking at HD's, loved the looks of the forty eight, test rode it and thought of buying one.
On my second test ride I was less convinced, uncomfortable, not enough torque and felt a bit like a giant on a mini bike :P
The dealer asked me if I wanted to test ride a dyna fatbob...
After a couple kilometers I forgot I ever wanted a forty eight :P

Long story short, almost bought a new bike but finally saw a used fatbob at a good price. The same day I sold my Honda Cb1000R and bought the HD

I'll get some pics soon

Cheers,

Thomas

congrats on the bike. I would love to ride my HD in Switzerland the scenery is outstanding. I had a business tip for 2 weeks back in 91. I just loved it and always wanted to return someday.
