Share What You Ride and Why



Hi all,


I want to know what each and everyone of you ride, and why you ride that specific scooter. I myself, it is rather obvious that I ride a Fatboy. She is a 2008 105th Anniversary edition, and I am still getting used to her as I road a Sporty, and a Dyna Superglide for many moons. I picked her up late last year, as I could not pass up the deal on got on such a gorgeous bike. Besides, who could not pass up owning a little piece of Harley's 105th, as well as HOG's 25th!! So why do I ride a Fatboy. Well I wanted a little bigger bike than what I had, I love the 6 speed, and the sound that comes out of that bike is music to my ears.


I only was able to put 1400 miles on her before our Wisconsin Winter dragged me to a screeching halt, so all I could do over the nasty winter was go out to the garage, take off her cover, put on my Favorite AC/DC CD and start up Molly (that is the name of my scooter, named after "The Unsinkable Molly Brown") and listen to the music pouring out of that engine.


I rode her yesterday for the 1st time this season, and froze my ass off for a short time, as Molly needed some work done at the shop (Bala's HD my Favorite Place to Shop) and I really did not care how cold it was, it was great hopping on the Interstate and making the short run. I thought about heading further, but I knew that the salt and sand had not been washed away as of yet, so I made it to the shop and left my scooter behind for a few days.


So now I look forward to many rides on my new scooter and cannot wait for the warmer days ahead!!


Now it's your turn, what do you ride, and why?
