    Well this will be a first for me; I have to winterize the Fatboy this September probably right after my HD York PA open house. I've just gotten my knee replacement date September 30.

    That sux...Mine sat still from late October last year to mid July this year because of my shoulder surgery...All I did was wash it, wax it, change the oil and gas it up with some fuel stabilizer and let her sit...Fired up in a few seconds and off I went...

    Good luck with the surgery...

    Good luck with it and how long you going to be laid up. Wife's 86 year old mother just finished her second knee replacement. She's doing great she didn't keep her leg up enough and had some swelling in her ankle, so keep the dang leg up :).

    I'll think about you that day laying on that slab table getting cut as I start serving my time for the county.

    I hope the surgery goes well, Fatboy. People I know that have had it are far better off. So far, I've been blessed with decent knees, even though everything else is falling apart.

    Just telling them I was a NRA member was enough for me to be excused. Really, just saying

    I'm still trying to figure out how O.J. Simpson got off. Maybe because none of the jurors were NRA members?

    That's what's wrong with the courts today. The lawyers try to stack the juniors in their favor. I have always felt you do the crime you do the time.


    As for Fatboys knees, really glad to see that your taking care of them now. My older brother wouldn't and now at 70 he can barley walk even with his cane.
