I just wanted to say HI..I just found this site as i was looking for some tips and tricks and stuff to wake up My new 1996 883 Hugger i have had it for three and a half weeks. So far i love the heck out of it ,Although i am not new to riding Bikes as in a dirt bikes and stuff off road i have only had one street bike in my life and it was a 1971 kawasaki 900 triple and it needed some serios work done on it to be totaly safe.That was back in 1979 when i was 15 years old.So you know i had no real MONEY hahaha but wanted a bike and i picked it up for 300 dollars if thats any help on the condition of bike.Any how I have always wanted a harley since i was young.So now im 41 years old as of sept 30 05 and this harley is the presant to myself.The only problem i have found with this bike is I WAS HAVING SO MUCH DARN FUN RIDING IT THE FIRST COUPLE DAYS I DIDNT THINK ABOUT GETTING GAS AND RAN OUT A COUPLE TIMES but its all good thats how i found this web site i was searching the web for a bigger gas tank.Thats going to be my first upgrade to the bike any way I look forward to reading and looking your web site and mine now i guess

Thank You Darin AKA D1LD

Welcome Darin, good to see you are enjoying that Sporty. Might pay to fit a fuel gauge, eh?

Welcome to da joint! Gotta figure that mileage thing out; running on empty sucks. And gas gauges are for geezer-glide baggers ridden by ol' fat guys decked out in plaid bermudas, black sox held up with garters, and sandals!
