Default Hello everyone...

Good day to you all! My name is Joe and this is my first post; yay me!

I’ve been riding 13 years and have owned a few bikes:

99 H-D Fat Boy
04 H-D Fat Boy
06 H-D Sportster 883
07 Honda Shadow Sabre 1100
07 Honda 919
06 Honda Elite 80 (hey, it was free... )

I have been eyeing up a 2019 Road King Special (in midnight blue). I am aware that some people have had issues with the power train in the M8 equipped bikes, some haven’t. I feel confident enough that if I do run into any issues that I will be able to sort it out.

I got to ride the RKS a couple days ago. Having spent a fair amount of time on a twin cam 88 and 96 engine bike (I used to work for the local dealer a decade ago), I was quite surprised how well balanced the M8 engine is and how good the whole vehicle was. For weighing 783 pounds, it sure as hell didn’t feel like it.

Anyways, thank you for having me here. I look forward to getting to know some of you. Have a great day!

G'day JTS,

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.

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

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

**** I AM NOT ONE TO GIVE ADVICE ON HOW HDF WORKS BUT… ****
**** AND THE FOLLOWING IS UNOFFICIAL ****


​​​​​​​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
