     hello everyone, sorry for large photo

     

    im adrian, from brisbane, im 29 im a butcher by trade, and always loved road motorbikes, my first bike was a honda vt250, had that for 7 or 8 years loved it, but decided i was more into the whole cruisers look and didnt care about going as fast as i could so i decided to try a learners cruiser while i was still on my re and bought my self a honda vt400, loved the whole thing about it (bar needing more power and it not being a harley)

     

    so after finally getting my r licence i've decided to buy what i've always wanted (since watching t2) haha a fatboy

     

    this is a 2013 fatboy stock no upgrades off the shop floor i pick it up next week. cant wait.

     

    i've heard everyone say u have to do the pipes etc....but for now im going fully stock. with interest in upgrading in the future, if anyone has any advices on what i can or SHOULD do with it. let me know. 

    adrian

    Mate don't ask an open question like that!!! How much money you got. Welcome you'll love the ride and over time you'll make your bike suit you. Did they give you a catalogue the bastards? That's what they do then you start looking and then you look at other bikes and think that would look good on mine!!! Enjoy

     Good on you mate. What a machine! Take your time, with the initial purchase price, maybe just put a few little touches on it.  Maybe just some cool grips or a few little hd or willy g covers...once you get used to being broke and your no longer frightened, start looking at pipes, seats, bars, air cleaners etc etc etc...you will never be the same again. Enjoy mate, im very envious...
