Thanks KC. Safe defeats the Bobber image (no front brake, big engine) tho. Like Water and oil, they don't mix. When ringing this bike I'm very alert of pot holes, cracks, dips and even turns. Insane, I know. This bike is not a daily commuter by any means but it's fun to have a Hot Rodded weekend warrior. Having an extra pony in the stable is great! It's Tour De Fat worthy too.
