It feels good though don’t it😁

[@fireguy8466]

@@kruesioriginals yeah it does. Can’t wait to see what you got for joe. Good dude.

[@American_tradition]

Harley needs to showcase Joe and his bike! A 53 year old man getting a part time job to buy a bike is pure passion!

[@adrianmontano371]

I could talk and listen to that man all day. Love him! I can’t believe how clean that bike is!! Over 30 years old!? WOW!! Beautiful bike!

[@Rif_Leman]

It would be a lot more enjoyable if he wasn't wrong about so much of what he says,

[@sk8xaq]

Smokin Joe is looking Spry! Good for you, Joe. Stay hydrated.

[@caruser4]

If Joe ever wants to get rid of that beauty, the Gray Ghost is my Holy Grail. I couldn't find one and ended up buying the 30th Anniversary Fat Boy but I've never stopped wanting the original 1990 Gray Ghost. Still on the hunt for one ❤

[@ericmcelroy6970]

Love videos with Joe. Yeah the bike is cool too. I remember that model on the floor of local Harley dealer in 1990

[@spoom937]

I don't think you guys realize just how much it means to him to be a part of something so cool at his age! You brought a new boost of life to that cool ass old man! You guys are too fucking awesome for that! An I'm sure him an his family will forever be grateful! Smokin Joe your the man!

[@Smokinjoesgarage]

Thanks so much Smokin’ Joe

The first Softails were produced in 1983 and branded as 84 models. FX Softails were available in several different frame and sheet metal matching color combos. I wish Joe many more years with his mint Fat-Boy 👍

[@hsmith3844]

I lived in Valley Stream Long Island for years. Hempstead Harley has all changed in the jungle

[@alpinestar1123]

Joe sounds like a mob boss. Mixing a little Gambino crime family with the Krusei gang. What a sweet bike though Man that thing looks pristine. Can only imagine what it looks like in person.

[@kruesioriginals]

She is definitely a beauty

[@DeafStunts]

Thanks Smokin’ Joe

[@ohhdoylerulezz]

Joe about to get a Legends Suspension??

[@Coctose]

I think Kruesi originals need to make shirts that simply say "GOD BLESS JOE". IMHO

[@twocupstwodrams7535]

Folks relationships with Harley-Davidsons are complicated, like all human experiences. Joe's relationship with his Fat Boy changed during the video. Joe gave a compelling argument to keep it original, but quickly changed because of Kruesi's generosity. There is more myths, here say about the FatBoy about it's origin, design and ride than any bike The Motor Company has ever produced. Thank you for sharing, Ride Free

[@STAYHUMBLE302]

Didn’t they do the blue frame fxr in late 80s either way such a rad bike and history much love to you guys kruesi forever and joe keep doing you !!!!

[@michaelmitchell5909]

Damn guys, i was jist gettin into the video and.....to be continued...jeez, lol. I tell ya what, the best bike i ever owned was my 2013 fatboy lo. I havent had alot of harleys, but that one was bad ass...stock 103 just waiting to be mutilated. I miss that bike.

[@jimf1450]

Like mentioned 1st Softail was 84 that resembled the Softail Custom, had 4 speed & chain drive with a kicker. Iirc Softail Custom came a year or so later & some late 80s Softail Customs came with color matched frames.

[@kruesioriginals]

Yes, we all know that. I also can’t say Fatboy in the title it will get banned. So it’s a play on words. Because it’s the Harley Fatboy ever maid but we can’t say that

[@jimf1450]

@@kruesioriginals Gotta love the MOCO.T2 is a big reason why they got popular back then.

[@The420HighRider]

Man some real words coming from a wise man who has seen and hard alot. Man respect for krusei going to end and back to make a good product. I have a older friend who is expert when it comes to custom. His brain doesn't stop turning...give him your car for a week he will just start tinkering and he will make it better. Make his own adapter plates for transmissions, master engine builder. Taught me everything I know.. make me look at situations as inconveniences instead of something I can't beat. Adapt and over come. Think twice. Ryan and Joe have that relationship. Minds just work the same way And enjoy each other company

[@davebauchat9869]

The Grey Ghost to me is the baddest harley ever made..in my opinion..ive got a 2015 FatBoy..and maybe one day ill have the privilege of owning a 1990 Grey Ghost...

Great video guys! Question, if not HD oil, or Amsoil... What oil do you suggest for harleys? It seems like so much options out there and they are all prolly the same thing just re-packaged. Advice please! Thanks a million, and keep the rad vids up!!

[@SickGirlRocks]

Close but the fat boy is far from Harleys first softail. As a matter of fact they trademarked the term back in the early 80’s with the fxst, ST meaning softail.

[@Pompomgrenade]

👌dope shit 🏁

[@ssirrah1]

87 softail custom came out with a color matched frame…just sayin

Painted frame no shit but the thing about fatboy they look good stock compared to a lot of bikes but anyway great story with the old boy .

[@bpwkendall]

whats with the bleep!!

[@fearsomename4517]

Incorrect it has nothing to do with bombs. The Motor Company would never do that. So many innocent people were killed. Look it up. Beautiful machine.

[@guyconnell2250]

"Fatboy" is a combination of "Fat Man" and "Little Boy" which were the names give to the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan to end WWII
