    Little bit of footage going around a few corners. The Fatbob is getting better all the time.

    From Kelilworth head back to Brisbane, nice little bike stop probably 2 klms out of town. Obe Obe isn't far away or if your head from Brisbane go to Melany then through to Kelilworth. Great country roads, well worth the run.

    Nice vid.

    Have you still got the forwards on? If so what is your technique using them? I'm still not 100% on weight etc when pushing mine. I note you had a good technique pointing the shoulder, getting off the seat and looking where you want to go -- you must have some crackin' fun on those roads!

    Another vid to point the clowns towards when the say 'Harley's don't go fast and can't go around corners'!

    Yep, I've struggled a bit getting used to it. I put the reduced reach forward controls and a good seat helps. I move my weight forward just like you. For really hard corners i hook my leg to get off but at the Stay upright course they wanted me to keep my feet on the pegs all the time. My first Harley was a 2005 Anniversary Fatboy. Did quite a few kays on that bike and a couple of vids in this forum. More comfortable and the side steps taught me a few thinks about corners. My favorite vid is fatboy vs huyabusa. My Fatbob would leave the fat behind but her was set up to ride.
