After seeing this on LS, I went and took a Fat Bob for a spin. (No, I didn’t win the prize.) I came away having a new appreciation of cruisers, but not of Harleys.

:)

Thanks for that, makes a lot of sense. Have you tried the flat ones in a jacket?

On what basis would you choose between flat and pre-shaped? Pros and cons of each? I keep thinking I should upgrade my gear to this, but can’t find anything to help me choose.

Ha. I saw that earlier and my first thought was “I wonder what Sean would say about that?”

That sucks, I’m sorry. I was there about a year or so ago. Put yourself first, don’t try to rush the grieving, put yourself first, then onwards and upwards, and put yourself first.

With all sincerity: \o/ \o/ \o/ YAAAAY!!!! \o/ \o/ \o/

I’m really late to the party, but had to say thanks for this awesome and honest review.

It doesn’t when you put it that way, but what about this: that’s one every three months on average.

Starring this for the animals tip, never heard that one before.

I’m confident that it says “Kawasaki” on the tank.

To add to the links, here’s VisorDown’s review, which they appear to have written in between doing their press rides in South Africa last week:

It should have been me! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MEEEEEE!!!!!!

As an aside, this is a great photograph.

No sweat, easy mistake.

For those who, like me, asked “why should we care?”:

Did you think the X-12 was better? The reviews I read said it was worse (and loved the X-11).

(Copy-n-paste of a comment I just made up-thread, but it’s even more relevant here.)
