    Can anyone help figure out what kinda motorcycle this is?

    Is the rider wearing protective clothes, or is this a "squid"?

    How many belt loops are on your pants?

    Thanks. I didn't want this to get lost in stuka's funny photo thread as this photo obviously has really educational value. :caked:

    I would say that he is wearing exceptional natural padding protection, however, he still needs some abraision protection. This is a mucho grande squid. I would bet it is a HOG. :kev: Not sure what this smiley means....what is a kev?? Like a rabbi of some sort? Hmmmmm....

    BTW, how come we don't have a motorcycle smiley??

    While "fat boy" is the comical answer, i would have to say it appears to be a Road King.

    with my situation I am the last to throw stones at a fellow brother, It does present significant challenges for him to be comfortable though, the trike sounds good but how can he rail the turns taking his feelers off then?

    I shouldn't throw stones either, I very well may look as ridiculous on my VFR being in the 280-300lb club. But I don't think so, this guy might not either; Chris you could be right but the Heritage usually doesn't have hard bags & is in the softtail family(hidden shock).

    Ugh. I'm a nurse. Wait until this guy falls off and I have to turn him every two hours while he is in the ICU.

    thanks for the help. I'm guessing the bike is a Road King, but the rider is a fatboy soft tail. I am guessing this image was the eureka moment for the hit-air jacket inventor.
