You know what's bothering me? I will tell you; all of you. Maybe you can relate to my experience, maybe not. But I feel like I am being robbed....

For months now, and well before I actually purchased a CVO SE Fat Boy, I read, wrote and participated on this web site. I have met friends, rode hard, learned many things, and shared thoughts with fellow CVO members. I admittedly assert that this site is kinda like home to me; a Comfort Zone if you will and I am fortunate to be welcomed here to be heard without too much negative yeild from my peers. I still click on the icon of this site daily, nightly, morningly (is that a word?) to see the latest from everyone. Now my problem...

Every day that the 2007 models saturates the market place and these pages; every time the FLSTFSE² fills someones' idea of the "CVO Dream Bike"; and every day that passes, the farther away the topics of discussion are about my own CVO (2005 FLSTFSE).

Since I joined this fine group of CVO Members, I have contracted "OCD", Thinning wallet syndrome and pretty soon I'll need a cane and a wheelchair just to type a post. I am losing touch with the initial reasons I came here in the first place: the 05 Screamin' Eagle Fat Boy {Slate Gray Platinum Mist with "grind" and all it's glory}. (That ones for you Aussie)

I always surf first to my specific model, now merged with the sequels from 2006 & 2007 only to find the opening pages completely full of inquiries about 06 & 07 year models. I use to turn to the first page and fill my brain with specs and potential spendings because of the OCD. [size=12]I should have worn a condom, I knew it!! [/size]

AUSSIE
I SOMETIMES GET THE SAME FEELING ABOUT MY BIKE. ITS JUST "BOREDOM". GO OUT AND SPEN SOME MONEY ON IT, THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU FEEL A LITTLE BETTER. OUT OF ALL THE SE FATBOYS, YOU HAVE THE BEST ONE IN MY OPINION. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] KEEP IT!!

 [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]  When I came to this home of OCDdom, the SEEG ruled the board.  Then came the 06 and now the 07 UC.  All the chat is there, so guess what I do.  I listen and lurk there.  Find a niche, and make yourself at home.  Since I also have an 05........... it is only a matter of time till someone asks a question or makes a statement that my experience (limited as it may be) may allow me to type a response.  It is all good................ keep enjoying that CVO, it is a winner.  [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif]

You need to spend less time surfin and more time ridin. If that doesn't cure the problem - start drinking more!

Amen
Riding clears the brain and put bugs in your teeth for your smile (SEXY) don't you think......

Kona,
I feel your pain! In 2003 the Road King ruled with its 103. We finally got a new Road King but I am sure the 110 will be the king of posts.

... every day that passes, the farther away the topics of discussion are about my own CVO(2005 FLSTFSE).

How do you think us FXR guys feel?

I understand completely, but hey, the new toys always get the most attention.  Only natural.

I look at it like this:  I still have the bike I want out in the garage, bought and long since paid for.  I still haven't seen anything else I'd rather have, regardless of displacement, HP, torque, paint job, whatever.  It runs great, it's what I want, it suits me to a "T".  In fact, as time goes by, it only gets more and more rare and unique.  HD hasn't welded that frame together since model year 2000, and regular production ceased in 1994.  I enjoy that uniqueness--kind of like a club within a club.

The FXR page had become an online ghost town long before the '07's came out.  That just makes the few posts down there even more meaningful in their rarity.

So take heart.  There may be more chat/talk going on based on the new hardware but chances are better that the posts you'll see for CVO Fat Boys will be more specific and information-based.
