Default Hello from the Netherlands

Hello
I'm from the Netherlands and will try to write correct english as possible. I'm 56 year old and 1.98 m tall, but still wants a Harley, my first one.
I'm riding from the beginning '80 and for ten years long I had only my driver license for the bike, then I met a girl with car and decided to get my driver license for a car aswell. Had rode many km......uhhh miles in Europe but the last couple of years this had dramaticly change, becourse the kids and wife.
had always japanese choppers/cruiser and cheated for a 1 year on a ZZR1100, nice bike, good ride but no soul.
So finally, in mine 3th midlifecrises I had decided to buy a Harley and bought a Softail Evo .
I really had to learn understanding the concept Harley, but till now I like it, despide the many wrenchwork I had. It had a fery low mileage, so I had to change oil, forkoil and brake oil, good method to learn about the technics, right?
When I bought it it was blue with silver old school flames (see avatar), don't like it and wanted to change over to black and Olive drab, but the 3 generations women (Wife, daughter and granddaughter) had forbidden the colorchange and now, I think it's okee. It's an old one and the colors belongs to it.

G'day mate,

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.

Here is a gift for you… LOL! “I so funi!”

Now let’s get serious 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
