"Fat Boy" photo courtesy of the Harley-Davidson archives Why? The answer to why manhattan Harley-Davidson would supposedly do such a thing is as a form of symbolic revenge on the Japanese motorcycle companies who eroded the sales of good ol' American Harley-Davidson bikes during the 1970s and 1980s. The answer to why manhattan people would believe such a thing is a tale spun from a collection of manufactured coincidences: The "Fat Boy" manhattan is silver, just like the Enola Gay and Bock's Car, the two B-29s used to drop atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The bike has disc wheels which look similar to the type used on airplanes such as the B-29. Seven gold rings can be found on the motorcycle, the same markings that were allegedly present on the two atomic bombs. The name "Fat Boy" was supposedly formed from the nicknames "Fat Man" and "Little Boy," the designations given to the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan.
