have you heard of the Fatboy myth?
« on: May 25, 2007, 08:47:24 PM »

While looking on the website snopes.com I found a story about the myth of the Harley Fatboy being a reference to the dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan. Sort of an American pride snub to Japanese bikes.

Saw this some time ago (imagine that being a sefb owner) also read Harley-Davidson denies it. Interesting way to look at it. Have you seen some of the leagal tender we have folded up a certain way lately?
