Default New to Florida

Been a member of the HD Forums since 2007 and really enjoy it. Arrived in Florida a couple of weeks ago and am looking for information. We are spending the winter in Crystal River and I am looking for a good shop to get some service done and some mods made to Ole Whitey. Contacted to local HD shop, but don't care for their prices or reviews of their sales and service depts. Always looking for some to ride with and see the sights, etc.

Welcome to Florida and the Florida Crew. Some nice riding up your way. All kind of Florida Crew folks around you. I am sure you don't qualify but JayStrongHawk and a group of Old Farts get together for breakfast a couple times a week just north of you.

I know I will get this wrong but I will try. Jay will be by this way to straighten me out. On Tuesday the Old Farts meet at Cuzin's Cafe in Branford and on Friday there is a meetup at Taste of Dixie Diner in Cross City. If anybody can tell you where to find what you need those are the guys

Ok, will wait and see if I hear from them. Those places are just up the road, would be a short but nice ride.

I forget to mention. These guys like to ride. Sefferdog is over in Ocala and he likes to go on the early morning long rides as well. Those guys will help you keep the oil warm for sure. Ride Safe -- Have Fun

Right now I just need the oil changed in all three holes. But I would like to get a set of 10 in ape hangers put on. I would also like to find someone that can adjust my dyno jet tuner. I believe I am running a tad rich. Do you know of someone?

Welcome.... we are just to the South of you. If you get down around Cape Coral let us know....my wife and I are always up for a ride.
Tuner....just to the north of you is one of the highest regarded tuners in Fl. He trains folks on the Dyno Jet.
