Default Saying hello from Alberta Canada

Just signed up and wanted to say hello from Canada. I am a gear head who's into building hi-po Harleys and love racing.

Hello from a fellow Albertan with a similar affliction...I run an '01 FXDXT with a 112/117 103inch by HQ and a bunch of aluminum and composite to get my wet weight down to 620lbs. The bike is pretty fast for a Harley\\; last bike was an '01 Sportster with 100/88 at the rear wheel. I've ridden many others and there's some real nice stuff out there from all brands but I especially like my bikes torque and versatility...I live in Fairview, by the way. Hope you enjoy the forum.....

Hello Sharkey,

I work in Fairview and live in the south myself. I also have Sporty about to go under the knife for some more power in the coming months. It's80/80 right now but about to recieve a 100" kit when I find some time. My daily driver is a respectable bagger that puts down 130/142. We'll have to hook up for a ride sometime.
