The real reason is "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle "

I haven't ridden motorcycle in almost 12 years but the urge has always been to buy a Harley. This last month just bought my first Harley and it's a 2011 Harley Fat Boy.

I've been riding an 05 Fatboy through four years of medical school on Galveston Island and I am never parting with this bike. One of the biggest bike rallies in the US and the best daily commute you could ever hope for. I can't imagine a better time or place to be on a Harley.

First bike I rode was my dads 04 fatboy. I fell in love. I’m 19 and bought a 2012 fatboy. Ride safe Ride Hard

When you said get it up to speed limit and started going through the gears I couldn’t help but notice the 25mph speed signs.

My first Harley was an ‘04 FLSTFI Fat Boy. I absolutely LOVED that bike. I put over 70, 000 trouble-free kms on mine, before gifting it to my oldest son, as a housewarming gift. I rode to the Grand Canyon and back on it, via the “scenic route” (7000 km round trip), and 2/3rds of the way across Canada and back (8000 km round trip). Used it as my daily commuter in the summer months, and put thousands of kms on it just ‘day riding’. The only mods were Stage 1, 2 up/2 back risers (because I have a sh*tty back, and the stock risers made it an uncomfortable reach for me on longer rides), Screaming Eagle pipes, and I swapped out a Fat Boy seat for a Heritage Softail seat, and installed a gel pad in the rider’s seat. It was a very versatile machine, great for city riding, day trips and long hauls. I don’t regret giving it to my son, as I know it is in good hands (and I can still borrow it now and then). I’ve had a Street Glide, and now a Road Glide, but I’m itching to put a Fatty back in the stable, to augment my fleet. Hard to get out of the system.

Because of the movie terminator 2.
That movie put that motorcycle on the map and ever since that movie I wanted that bike.

Not only did I learn a ton about the specific Harley I am looking at (2002 Fatboy) but I got some scripture too! Keep it up brother! Great work!

Have an 04 Fatboy for a first bike. My brother who has been riding Harley for over 30 years recommended it. My first thoughts were " This is a big bike" started on back roads, parking lots. Since I only passed the MRC course about a month ago. Been going highways lately. I love the look, and the ride of my Fatboy! Happy, safe riding fellow bikers!

Factory intel for you:

The shocks are not under the seat. They are under the transmission.

Spoked wheels become effectively solid at 40 something miles per hour because: physics. We had to explain that to customers often. Some still didn't believe it. Solid wheels do seem to have a gyro effect, which is a plus for stability.

There is no "tuning" to a factory EFI system. Just aftermarket. Change the plugs, plug wires, clean the connections.

I like 5 speeds better too. High gear is 1 to 1, and has little to no wear going on. HD 6 speeds are overdrive, and receive more wear and stress on them.

I like your videos, and funny commentary. Keep doing them!

I've had 3 Harleys now; a SuperGlide, a Night Train, and now a FatBoy. 3 totally different feeling bikes. The FatBoy def feels more grown up, more refined. I loved them all, but the FatBoy is my favorite.

[garyheaton]

2014 Fatboy was the most comfortable bike I have EVER been on! Bar none. If my health would allow it, I would buy a Fatboy today, in a heartbeat!!
Thanks for the video and chat pal..it brings things back!

[JohnTheRevelator]

After having kids, my last bike having been a fatboy lo, my husband gave me the oppertunity to buy a new bike for my next riding years.
I had any choice.
Went right back after much research, to a fatboy. So comfortable and hugs the road 🥰

[jamesray]

My first bike is a 02 Fatboy.. I now have 3 Harleys and still have my Fat boy.. Love that bike

[Rzrsedge]

the shock is underneath connecting the frame and swingarm, not under the seat

[Justin-LaFleur]

The Fatboy is my dream bike and yes Arnie is the reason why

[tubewatcher]

I just bought a 2003 FatBoy 100 yr anniversary from a guy who only owned it because Arnold rode it on Terminator. Really nice bike and super nice to ride.

“Only girls complain about that”
So true, well said 🤣🤣🤣

[ToddEdmondson]

I own that bike and It makes me feel like I'm listening to George Thorogood every time. Great story, I think the bike for what it's used for is perfect. Get yourself a Road Glide if you want to go across the country.
