Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

SO MUCH OF OWNING A Harley-Davidson is about the image that the brand has perpetuated and continues to perpetuate through the years. The bikes with the bar and shield have pushed the envelope of ‘cool’ for decades but when Arnold “Terminator” Schwarzenegger jumped his Fat Boy off a bridge, things couldn’t get cooler. Everyone who wanted to be a biker but wasn’t interested in sportsbikes dreamt of manhandling a HarleyDavidson Fat Boy. Over a quarter of a century later, the Fat Boy continues to dominate the psyche of most people aspiring to own a Harley. Hell, I have never wanted a Harley for myself and even in my head there couldn’t be a bike more quintessentially Harley than a Fat Boy. Naturally, when the chance to ride the new generation of this two-wheeled legend came along, I was only too happy to volunteer.
