    Lots to like there Pauly (Triumphs CVO) and it shows why Harley has to keep up. 

    Having passed on the new Fat Boy I’ll definitely be looking when they release the standard model.  I’m wondering if they’ll bring out a more traditional version as I hate those rear end treatments. Looks like a cat pissing on a post. Not real good for a back rest, rack, bags etc either. Further forward controls for my giraffe legs might be needed too.

    Yeah, that’s what I mean Pauly, a more traditional arse end might make it more enjoyable for two.

    From what I understand, all the Aussie destined ones are sold out.
    Must say, It would be nice to test ride one.
