Thumbs up Hello from Atlanta GA Road King and Big Twin Bobber

Hello from east Cobb, Marietta GA. Been riding motorcycles/dirtbikes since 1972. Harleys since 1983. First street bike was a 1979 Sportster that I even rode to high school before I turned 16 - back when 15-year olds could ride bikes at any time in Georgia. Don't know that is still legal now in 2020. Still ride anything with two wheels, and work on bikes, cars, hotrods, motocross bikes, 2-stroke, 4-stroke, racing bike, recreational bike, chainsaw, leafblower,

Current bikes - 2000 Road King, and, a long project of a former rolling basketcase - Big Twin Bobber that has all sorts of creations, updates, improvements, etc done to it.


Our 2000 Road King. Great bike that I recently and finally resolved the stupid surging/pulsating brakes issue (and it wasn't warped rotors...)

Our Big Twin Bobber - a former rolling basketcase - (1957 hardtail frame, 1997 Springer frontend, 2007 Road King engine, S&S Super E Carb, 2004 Street Glide gas tank, 1993 Oil Tank, Ultima 6-speed transmission, custom hand-shifter and clutch, Performance Machine front brakes, Rear Sproter Setup, chain drive, 3" BDL Belt, all new wiring myself (Ultima.) All kinds of updates, changes, inventions and whatnot make this bike run awesome. Very proud of how this 6-month project ended up.
anything with an engine.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!

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
