    That guy don't belong on even a straight rode. Every bike is only as good ass the rider. A bagger can with a good rider take those corners at a fast pace. Sleepy those curves kind of remind me of that Road in AZ called the Coronado Trail we rode.

    Class 6 is in the works, just have to wait til I get out of the field, find out how much time i'll actually be on the ground at home before I get punched out to the next task/coarse/operation. Good ol' military, couldnt organize an orgy in a whorehouse on a payday! I can't wait to get back on a bike, didnt realize how much i'd missed it until i'd gotten on a bike at the safety course. Good news for me was the instructor wanted to give me the "advanced" classification after the course. (I got lucky, they had a whole lot of short folk they wanted to throw on the road bikes...lower seat, short legs...you get the point. so they tossed me on a dirt bike. ha!) so i'm champing at the bit to get back out there. I'd like to thank all the folks thankin soldiers for their service, but i'd also like to thank ALL of you guys for giving people like me a reason to serve. lookin forward to some more lessons and information from you guys, as well as some good jokes. i've been checkin these sporadically on my phone out here, and telling the boys when we get a moment to stop and catch our breath. more often than not the sarge has to tell us to stop smilin so we dont give ourselves away in the dark with cam paint on...good times!

    Had one of each style at different times in my life. But for comfort and handling I think one of the Dynas, probably the superglide would be hard to beat. Have a lowered softail now and it's not real comfortable but I love her.

    I test rode a few Dyna's and I wasn't impressed with them. They were a nice ride but there was thing that was universal that I rode. I thought their rear brake sucked!

    Didn't say a few Dyna's.
    Was talkin about a FatBob..................:cussing:

    Look at the FAt Tires, Dual disc front brakes. This bike rides real smooth.
    Like no other dyna you've ever rode

    I personally think that that bike is ugly. JMO If I am going to have a fat front tire it is going to be the crossbones, at least you get the springer.

    This bike will out ride a crossbones anyday.
    Stop and take the time to Ride this bike.
    It rides good, corners good, handles good. Had the OL on it several times.
    If you like a Sporty you will like the way this bike handles and rides.
    It will outride a Sporty hands down.
    The fat tires makes this bike ride good.
    Forgit what it loks like ,looks ain't everything,just ride it.:fight:

    I know a guy who rides his FatBob back and forth from Colorado Springs to FT. Leonardwood, MO every other week to see his wife, straight through 800 plus miles one way. Don't matter the weather either, he loves it and is planning on doing a 103 hop up when he hits 100,000 miles. An't his first bike either, he had a VRod prior to the FatBob, says this is twice the bike of the vrod.

    Remeber CB ya don't knock another guys ride, sometimes they just don't know better. They don't understand we have rode those neck heavy beast and have moved on to something a little more nibble that glides through the corners. We've all had hot rods and thought they were the fastest thing on the rode untill we came upon someone faster and that could ride better.
    Sometimes ride'n it like you stole and you still lose.:D
