Default Hello from NorCal

Hey everyone, I just picked up a 2010 Road King a couple days ago. Higher mileage at 70k, but seems well loved and completely stock for now. It’s my step up from an 07 Super Glide, but been off a bike for several years until now. I browsed the site while looking at bikes, and I appreciate all the info floating around here. I’m sure I’ll have lots more questions.

A happy good morning to you Bryan,

That is an absolutely gorgeous RK! Great colors and all. 70,000 miles? No big deal my friend. As you likely know with the proper maintenance you could run that sucker way way way way higher. I typically run my baggers over hundred thousand before I think about trading the men. And I only do that because I do (or did) a lot of long-distance riding.

But people have run there is way higher than 100,000 for sure.

Great bike Bryan, I hope you get to ride it daily. Especially in California with the weather is great.


Now, for my regular welcome to you...

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 ****





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
