Featured Bob ‘s Still Fat

Yes, I am still around.

Even though not posting too much recently. Sorry, but sometimes your life gets turned a little upside down and you start to lose touch with the threads that actually keep it going or make it worthwhile...

Anyway: I still own and love and ride my Fat Bob and I really can find no fault with this machine. You can throw it into corners as if it were only half the weight, the acceleration is phenomenal and the suspension
the best, I ever had... (Yes, I am actually talking Harley Davidson )

Newest update: after being quite reluctant I finally chose to get the tail-tidy plate holder...



Looks even fatter now, don’t you think? It is also 15cm shorter and about 1.5 kgs lighter (the latter making no big difference, I guess).
Haven’t ridden it in rainy weather and might be in for water/muck spraying my neck.
So what?

Enjoy your rides everyone and many greetings...

Hi Joe,
what you foremost see is the grey gravel from that parking spot in the forest where I definitely did not throw it anywhere.
Nevertheless I am not a peg-scraper. I meant to tell that it feels surprisingly nimble for a 300 kg bike.

But once I can park the bike without the side stand, I’ll post another pic...

 

Jez, this is Germany’s “small” plate
And it is one of the things Herr Plod is eagerly looking for,,,
One really gets envious seeing the small plates they have in the U.S.

 

Fully agreed, besides my Triumphs, I come from Iron 883 (nice but not for long hauls) and Road King (great but too heavy for me).
The Bob is just the perfect mix for me.
Just returning from a 150 mile trip to the great twisties of the Odenwald.
Man, did anyone say there are no bugs around anymore??? I had a whole catalogue of species on my jacket, pants and helmet...
(and @joe mc donald : before you inquire; naturally not from the speed. I was just eating some Sauerkraut and Bratwurst at the side of the road while they all crashed into me... )

Happy Eastern everyone

 

Hey Joe,
the fact that I answered showed that you hit a weak spot...
I always think, I should lean in more, then I think it is good to have an emergency margin to tighten the turn... And so two hearts are beating in my chest. (or a little @Dozers Dad is sitting on my left shoulder and a little @dilligaf sitting on my right one...

Very kind of you to apologize, but no need to. This would not be our long term forum if we did not enjoy a little piss being taken (is that how you say it?)

Cheers, Daniel

 

Hoi Dilli,
does not look too good. Situation at home isn‘t great. Guess, there will be no holiday for me this year

I could send Drunkey though...


BTW: He says ‚Hi‘ while he keeps messin‘ with my synthesizer (he still thinks it can beam him up to Kielder)

 

Yes Jez, I certainly miss the educational part...
...and the good food...
...and all you great folks!!!

 

SCHNITZELWIESEL!!!
