I’m a floor board and heel/toe shifter too! First bike, 2001 Honda Shadow 750 had pegs and I changed them to floorboards and h/t shifter. Never looked back and will always have that on any cruiser I own. Funny I test rode a BMW R18 tourer last week and it had both but it wasn’t lined up properly and was very awkward.

I've ridden with stock pegs, forward controls, and floorboards, and I like floorboards the best. I habitually used the heel shifter on the first bike I had with floorboards ('97 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500), and I never use it on my current bike ('03 Suzuki Intruder 1500LC). No clue why I used one but not the other. 🤷😂

Test riding a Ducati Diavel would be cool. What would really be cool is to find some people that will let you ride anything Old School 90's and older. Like an Evo, Shovelhead, Panhead, etc to see what you think of the past and what some of us have ridden compared to modern tech. Even try learning to start with a kicker (yes she can guys - Hush Cállate) and experience the past. As for costumes, Frankenstein/Finkenstein and Bride of Frankenstein is my vote!

Another great video. That dealer had so much choice. I moved from Harvey to Ducati after getting on the Ducati Scrambler 1100 Special, that I think you were sat on. Our dealer a two for sale so my partner and I bought them and have so much fun. They are comfortable, fast and the retro look adds appeal. The Ducati Panigale V4S you also sat on is fun, fast (214bhp), but extremely safe to ride with the incredible electronics build it. Not so great for the long journeys. I bought one of these and used it throughout the summer. Now it’s put away as the wether gets colder. The white Panigale V2 is also great fun. It’s has loads of power, 155bhp, but safe to ride in all weathers. Try out the Ducati’s just for the experience, and hopefully make another video when doing it👍

The cam sounds amazing like it’s about to die before it gets that last sip of gas. Was gonna say though I did a baron intake on the raider, exhaust, tune, and a 240 Dunlop rear tire. I haven’t had the fat boy long enough to fully say, but I can say that the raider has been a great bike and has never given me any issues. I even deployed for 10 months while the bike sat with no batter tender and that’s on a 4 year old battery, started right up l! Also the fat boy does have a usb outlet for your gloves.

That trip convinced me I wanted a big touring bike. I rode a Road Glide for two weeks all over Spain and having that big touring bike was great for covering the miles. Now the FatBoy is my get around town and bar hopper bike, the Ultra is my road trip long distance bike. So like I said, it depends on what you want to do and where you want to go.

You say your bike is more performance oriented, but I don't think any Harley, except for the Pan America and the Sportster S (somewhat), is sport oriented. Your friends Fat Boy looks awesome btw. I had never ridden a Harley before coming from sporty bikes like Ducati Streetfighter and Yamaha MT-10, etcetera. But after a test ride (one of several on Harleys) I felt this was the bike for me.

Hi Meg! I’m a 57 yo man who started riding when I was 11. I owned 2 Fat Boys (1995, 2002). I just acquired a 2022 HD Fat Boy 114 with only 60 miles on it. The previous owner must not have liked it either to lose $8k on the sale. Any how, I took my first ride on it this morning. While I was riding I kept hearing your words about not liking the handling of the bike because of the 240 rear tire. I found myself learning to ride all over again because the Fat Boy does not want to lean over like cruisers with smaller rear tires. I will have learn to master this fat tire handling situation. Doesn’t Mike have a 240 rear tire on his bike? Did he just learn to live with it? -Edward from Tx

Yes, Mike does have a 240, he makes up for turning ease by leaning the bike. However, as a result, he is close to scraping through his primary cover. Also, Mike is the most skilled rider I know and can ride any bike like it was made specifically for him so he’s not the best person to make judgments off. That’s an awesome deal though and if you’ve been a rider for all your life, you’ll adapt! Congratulations on the new bike!

Lol Lo key, I love my Fatboy. But, im ready to upgrade. Ya the newer Fatboy has wider front and rear tires making it bulky in turns. Mine isn't so bad with the 200 rear. But you still feel it. Definitely. But the bike for canyon carving lol I bet that Ducati Diavel would spark some fire 🔥

The audio is sounding really good even with the visor up you were coming in loud and clear. It would be good to hear what the magic combination is. A great video but to be honest I did not think you were going to like the Fat Boy its really kind of meant for bigger framed riders, my opinion, because of the width of the front tire and what it does to the handling. That being said you didn't look scared of it , nice job.

The main reason why you don’t see many of Fat Boy on the road is: Fat Boy are only good on Straight Lines * Not made for Road you have to Turn \ Corners, never heard any reviews where the riders aren’t complaining about handling The Tiers are too Flat Just like the original Sportster Roadster Tires Changing the Tiers makes it to a Much more enjoyable Ride

Hi Meg 👋 OK firstt off you looked Absolutely Stunning in that plaid top!!! And with those leather pants , whew!!! Your setup for your voice while riding was perfect this time 👍🤗 About the grooves through the road work , that fat front tire helps it feel much smoother than the skinny front tire on your bike , but it also doesn't turn as easy at low speed either , that's why you felt like it didn't handle as well as your bike does at low speed . Great video though , hope you didn't freeze too bad 😁 Here's a glove tip for non heated gloves , get a pair of silk glove liners and your hands won't get Near as Cold !!! I use them when I ride in the cold 20's-40's temp , and I've never used heated gloves and I do just fine 👍 Well Counselor , you have yourself an Awesome week , and look forward to seeing that infectious beautiful smile again soon 😊
