Just got my license back after 10+ years suspension and moved from the dirt to the street. Been riding quads and occasional dirt bikes my whole life. Bought my first motorcycle a 2010 iron 883 with 1200 conversion, forward intake, Vance short shots and a pre 2013 screaming eagle tune (the now illegal one). Struggling with anxiety anxiety when riding speeds over 40mph. Not anxiety of my ability but of the ******* drivers around me I live on the outskirts of Philadelphia. Any suggestions?

 

Hi r144, WELCOME and NICE PIXs

Your question is better asked in a more appropriate forum mate. This is the Welcome Area Only.


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.


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,

Welcome to the Forum from Colorado!
Hope you got the issues that led to a 10 year(!!!) suspension resolved.
Ride with your head on a swivel and as if everyone in a car is out to kill you on purpose, and you'll be fine.
Use your turn signals, don't weave in and out of traffic, which leaves cagers not knowing where you are, and always have an escape plan.

 

thanks I should say I’m used to hitting 70+ mph in a trail not knowing if the next turn will be a cliff but Damn these cars around here are crazy. One thing is for sure a life of off road prepared me to always be alert for danger and keep head on a swivel but maybe to much that now I’m over thinking

 

Also. Yea definitely need to have suspension tuned I’m used to that off-road bounce of dirt bikes and quads this feels like hitting potholes on a skateboard

I like to wear a blaze orange vest over my riding jacket. It definitely stands out and makes me more visible. I noticed several drivers pull out from intersections and quickly stop after seeing the orange.
