Hello folks,

I just bought a 2019 Softail Deluxe in red/cherry. It's my second H-D, the first being a 2009 FXSTC that I bought new 10 years ago. I actually went to buy Street Glide but while I was looking at one, the FLDE was calling me. Softly at first, but louder and louder and more and more urgently until I walked over to throw a leg over her. It was love at first sight.

After riding sport bikes my whole life, the Custom took some getting used to: It's unnerving to have the frame (peg mounts) scrape when going around a nice bend... I had to learn to ride again

I recently retired from the military after 36 years and am looking forward to having the Deluxe consume my leisure time.

They're delivering the bike next week. Ordinarily I'd be losing my mind in anticipation but it's still snowing here so the pain is somewhat dulled. My brother on the west coast hasn't missed an opportunity to remind me that he can ride his Road King year-round.

Cheers from Canada!

G'day Gary,

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.

Now, 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.
