I love my HD Fat Boy, for me it is the epitome of all things American. It looks cool and sounds amazing and let’s be honest seeing the terminator climb onto this beast and ride off is something I always think of when I climb onto mine. So after 2 weeks of US sunshine and sat astride a Harley Electra Glide Ultimate, my beasty felt somewhat tiny today. It was like going from a Rolls Royce with all bells and whistles down to a Robin Reliant.

It is true that after riding something of that size you could a few hundred miles and not notice it, yet do 20 on a Fat Boy and KNOW you have done 20.

Still I love my lump of Americana but I did miss my pillion tapping directions onto my shoulders and the occasional squeeze of my sides to let me know she is still awake behind me.
