You can expect to hear from OFSTED: http://www.snopes.com/business/market/fatboy.asp Also, you're about 90 cubic inches out on the capacity..... I recall there was an ex-racer back in the 90s who was running a HD dealership that offered a 'put up or shut up' challenge in MCN for anyone to beat him on his Harley round a UK track, where the winner left with both bikes, don't think he had many take him up on the challenge. Ok fair enough, don't know what you mean by ofstead though?Was a pun about the factual inaccuracy of your history lesson!

My old man (67) rides his HD 1200 xlwhatever pretty quickly, he's not got much metal left on his pegs/pipes. Keeps up with most riders up to about 80mph, then he gets too much wind up his trouser legs
