Hey all, I'm Drew. I got into riding for the first time last year when I decided to sign up for Riding Academy at HD, but wasn't able to pick up a bike since I was only working part time. I just graduated from college and decided to find a full time job while applying to graduate school, and I'll be training/starting as an auto tech in a week. I'm hoping I can pick up a bike by Spring, and in the meantime will be looking for advice on what to be looking for.

**** 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,
