Thought I'd pop in an introduce myself. Been riding since I was arnd 19, always sport bikes. Just purchased a 2021 SGS. It was time for me to get in on the bang wagon 😏 I must say, I should have bought one way way before now. I've rode a few Harleys before in the past, just various sportsers though..such a huge difference to me in the comfort and ride in general once I rode the SG. I can just relax and lounge back. Looking forward to being a part of the harley community.

Hi there nb2002, NICE PIXs man and GREAT area to base riding out of man...........really NICE! Lucky b'tard I would say.


Be sure to come to the games section. We have a lot of fun there and get to know (and joke around) with each other.

Now, back to business.

There will be an initiation having to do with a greased pig, a rope, and some hot sauce a little later today.

We have a ton of stuff here, like an excellent mechanical and technical section, Harley-Davidson videos uploaded by our members, humor, gun enthusiast, road trips, a food section, dark side section, great vendors, classifieds, regional activity, and a lot, a lot more.

Now, for my regular welcome to you...

G'day mate,

welcome to HDF.

I will be your tour guide. Be sure to read the manual before posting ok mate?

Or we will have discipline you and if you don't "get it" we will need to discipline you biker style.

Here is a gift for you… LOL! “I so funi!”


Now let’s get serious for your orientation. Go down the hall on your left to the 1st room. No, wait. The 1st room on your right. That is where the commissary is.

Then you will see doors marked for the mortuary, skeet shooting, a room where we make fun of In-Jun bikes, and of course we have a ahh, umm, oh yeah a across the hall.

We had a BOMB MAKING room but, well, ahhhhh, 1 of the guys just didn't understand Blasting Caps very well so..... you know.

We have our own pub .

There are several places where you can familiarize your self with the .

So don't be a wall flower watching others . Get involved.

See you around mate. I am going to the commissary now.


**** ON THE SERIOUS SIDE ****


You are in the “New Members Area” where you can introduce yourself and let us know what Harley Davidson bike(s) (if any) you ride/own.

If you have questions about engines, exhaust systems, audio issues, etc… then:

1) Please go to the upper corner and Roll Over “Forums

2) Then come down to and Roll Over “Harley Davidson Tech & Mechanical Forum

3) Then come down to the section that would be most appropriate for your question like Audio Systems, Engine Mechanical Topics, Exhaust System Topics, etc… and CLICK on the topic you have a question about.

You will find the knowledge here is EXCELLENT and these here mates are willing to help you in any way they can. ‘juss be careful. There are some “Trolls”, so I suggest just ignoring them ‘ole farts.

See you around HDF. Come often, we have a humor thread, game thread, and a LOT of other stuff.

Have A Great Day Mate,

BuzzCap7

So i bought a thing...
I sold my Chieftain Dark Horse a few months ago and Friday I decided I needed a new ride. I found this 2002 Road King at a good price so now she lives in my garage. I signed the paperwork, jumped on and rode 4 hours home. Not bad for my first HD

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!
