I use only 256gb Sandisk Extreme for this camera as it consumes space at double the rate of the Hero 7. If you are like me, I try to never turn the camera off when I’m out as you can guarantee that’s when something will happen and you’ll miss it. You will require 2 x 256gb cards for a full days riding if you’re on tour.

I use either 128gb Sandisk Ultra or 256gb Sandisk Extreme SD cards. (I find the quality equally as good whether I use the Ultra or the Extreme cards.)
When using the hand held camera I set the lens view to Wide.

Nice review, I am about to get my Fat Bob out of the garage and go for breakfast in style…
Harleys never really were of interest to me until I started watching a certain Aussie vlogger and he certainly changed my opinion of them. Loved the enthusiasm of the review, thoroughly enjoyed the energy you brought and agree it looks and sounds a great bike. The guy driving the tractor was a disgrace, clearly jumped a red light and unfortunately it happens far to often these days. I was out on my bike yesterday and caught a red light jumper on camera, and so did the cops because they were also at the lights and it looked like he was busted, so a little bit of karma. I might even post it on CZcams haha.
I’d never thought of ownership either but I’d definitely have a Fat Bob, it was superb fun. The bloke in the tractor was just obnoxious, I agree, the light was full red, good job there wasn’t someone rushing to cross the road. Thanks for the kind comments, I really appreciate it 👍
Great review. Cheers. Was seriously considering a Bobber as my next ride but now you've got me thinking ....... ATVB
Really enjoyed watching your vid mate. I was about to purchase a 1250 GS and then went to HD to see what they had, feel in love with the Fat Bob and now my wife wants a Nightster too haha! I know they are totally different machines but the Harley just blew me away how it made me feel. Wouldn’t have taken the GS off road anyway! Ride safe 😊
It does make you feel good riding it doesn’t it? 😎😍👍
Good review, I'm going to buy a fat bob later this year
I tried the rocket 3 great bike but hated the engine noise fell in love with the fatbob same colour as you tested was getting one last year but illness ment had to wait got the allclear went straight to Harley and bought fatbob done 1600 miles loving it more each time
The Rocket 3 needs an aftermarket exhaust system on it definitely. Glad you’re enjoying your Fat Bob, they are great fun 👍👍👍
The '23 softails have a factory cruise control as standard. On the earlier versions, the CC can be added.
“Ride it some more”😂😂😂. Bit of TMF coming out there ! Nice review. Enjoyed that. 👍
Thanks buddy. Wouldn’t mind his following! 😂👍
Hi Jack, Great review this is my first bike which I purchased brand new this year and what a bike it is. You need to be out on one before you make any sort of comment about this particular model.
Atb. 👌👍
Absolutely Jay, I really enjoyed my time with this bike. 👍
Love it! Nice of Robin Hood and the Merry Men 😂
I now have to wear green tights! 😂
Beautiful, beautiful, bikes the Fat Bob. It’s my favorite Harley Davidson in terms of styling. It’s the “big twin” softail I was going to buy if I ever traded in my iron 883. Until I rode a Low Rider S 114 and I actually bought that instead, lol. If the LRS hadn’t been so darn perfect, I would absolutely be riding a Fat Bob instead. Who knew🤷🏻♂️? I prefer the colors and badging of some of the older models however, as opposed to the ‘22 models. They did a beautiful, Harley orange one a couple of years back that was just gorgeous!
This was the first Harley I’ve ridden so didn’t know what to expect. I absolutely loved the thing! 😎👍
Picking up mine in 2-3 weeks
Enjoy buddy, it’s an amazing bike 👍👍👍
@@motomogul Thanks.Sportbikes for the last 14 years.Lookong forward to a chilled out 'cool' ride.Arnie style😄
Looks and sounds 👌 🔥 great vlog Jack 👍
Cheers Andrew, it’s a great bike 😎✌️
Great thorough reveiw. Been thinking of one of these...at the moment I have the Sportster 1200 Iron with stage one, Only critisism with that is I need to get my ear plugs in right or it really gets to me and then I dont enjoy the ride...a great way to get Tinnitus so be careful folks. Dont critisise the Panda though that may be all the owner can afford . For cars I will drive any peice of crap and spend the money on a nice motorbike. You dont know someones situation or reason. I may well test ride one of these.😁😁
I have persistent tinnitus and always wear ear plugs. Thanks for the comments Malcolm, the Fat Bob is such a cool bike 👍
Great bike I have2022fat bob best bike ever had
Fat Bob to me doesn’t look very Harley Davidson. I love the classic look, so I just purchased me a HD Heritage Classic Softail & wow it’s the smoothest bike I’ve ever owned…
Great video ... mirrors just turn upside down lol. Fuel 43mpg if you rag it. Normal riding 50 mpg 55mpg i can get 160 before fuel light comes on sticking to the law ish lol ... I was impressed just brought one, where ever you park people will flock to it as it look's different to most Harley-Davidson, sits nice in my garage with my 1250gs and my honda C90 Remember Jack if you open it up HOLD ON as that 100mph comes up so quick
Now that would be a great, complimentary pair of bikes to have in the garage. I did find out that holding on tight is crucial! 😂😎👍
Triumph suspension doesn't cut it...good for perfect pavement only. The rear license plate bumper mash up doesn't do the Harley any favours. The M8 Softail Standard/Slim/Heritage are my favs.
I’m no expert on Harley’s Barry, but I loved this Fat Bob. 👍
Great video Jack.. I’d have one if I could afford a 2nd bike. 👍
Cheers Ashley, yes, me too. 💷💷💷🤩
Torque city, amazing engine, prefer the modern touches with Indians but if I won the lottery I’d have one in the garage alongside my GSA soon to be replaced by a Multistrada. Yes I love twins, proper engines, that’s why I bought the V2 Multi not the V4.
I think I’d have one of these. ✌️
Sounds nice. looks good. Never been on one so not a clue lol. Nice video thoe. Oh and rideing around my neck of the woods too lol
Lovely bike, well worth having a look 👀
I really love it but the money's a bit much
I think I will probably get a cruiser at some point in my life.. I would have one now if I could have 3 stallions in the garage but that ain't happening anytime soon 🤣 Sounds and look lovely.. Good review buddy and you did look cool on it.
😂 Cheers fella 👍✌️😎
perfect bike love it to death ,,,,, I hate the Head light ,,,,,,,,
😂 Me too. A bit too Futurama! 🤖
Nice vid pal, I was seriously considering a Harley before I got the GS (amongst many other bikes) decided to go for comfort over cool 😂😂 see thee soon 👍
It would definitely be a second bike but, what a second bike! 🤩👌🏼 Yes, will defo see you soon. Maybe I ought to organise a subs ride? I should almost positively turn up for that 🤔😂👍
@@motomogul you plan it, they will come. I’d be up for it 👍
Ok, I’ll give it some thought 👍
Are you at Richy Vida’s Wildbad Weekender?
@@motomogul I’ve got a nightmare schedule at work at the mo so I didn’t want to get the ticket and not be able to get there for the Friday meet up and ride. I’ll keep an eye on things closer to the date, it’s the end of July isn’t it pal? So I’m a maybe at the mo ( if there are still tickets and I can get away from work) 👍
This would be much better with 18" wheels with the tall & fat rubber than the 16s. Do not like how they did the rear fender with the license plate. Makes it look combinish or farm equipped. I sure hope that H.D. got the sumping problem fixed. For me, this bike needs a lot of chrome and a Candy Apple large silver flake paint job.
You are welcome
-In regards to your comment about not carrying a pillion, there are t- shirts available that let the world know “ If you can read this, my Bitch must have fallen off” I ride a Triumph.
😂
Is this soft tail a comfortable ride a a 6ft 3in male? I really like this bike but most Harley Davidson are to short.
This is possibly going to feel too small for you too Gregg. Only way to be sure is to try one out. 👍
Harganya berapa yaah
Look at these pipes 🤔 pipes don't do much but make them loud 😉
And look pretty awesome too. The original pipes look hideous in comparison so for me they do an awful lot cosmetically and audibly. 👍
@@motomogul 👍
Tú fuma? Muito oí fegante 😮😮😮
A Harley! that's it I'm unsubscribing, just kidding :)
I was really surprised at how good this bike was. It was so characterful and cool. The ride was amazing and the sound from those pipes was the cherry on the cake. Well worth a test ride if you’ve never tried one. 👍👍👍😎✌️
