Default RE: NEWBIE...is there an acronym list?

The Harley-Davidson acronyms are specific to each different bike they produce. The really only way to figure them all out is to go to Harley-Davidson.com and look at each different model and figure out each one. I, like many of us, know alot of them but not all (I'm sure some on this Forum does) but like myself, I know quite a few (such as fxds=Dyna Superglide, fxdw=Dyna Wideglide etc.).

Now the acronyms for Forums for bikers such as RUB=Rich Urban Bikers, etc., No there's not a list that I know of, but as you come across them just ask the members or Mods and they'll be GLAD to let you know.

Good luck!

By the way, sell the Vette and finally get your dream!
