Greetings,
I have just become a proud owner of a 17-y/o Softail Standard.
Not my first bike by far but it sure feels like it.
The engine just sounds so sweet, I have no words to describe it. I just rev her up and listen to the sweet sweet sound and grin ear to ear. Whether at idle, acceleration or even deceleration, the engine noise is just music to my ears. It is my new high.
I have never thought I'd own a Harley but the time has come to have a piece of 'murken history in my garage because ... well ... there's just nothing like it.
I already ordered the repair manual because she needs lots and lots of TLC (which is why I got a smoking deal on her) and will be slowly fixing whatever has been neglected over the years.
Looking forward to learning about Harleys here and making friends.
Cheers from hot TX (106F today).

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.

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.
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!!
