Hi there ej4, it is great to have you here with us my friend.

There is a lot of stuff here so take your time looking around. A technical section, games, humor, regional, videos, a section by model bike you have, it pretty much does not end. LOL lots of stuff!

Take your time, look around and have fun!


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

Great stuff and many thanks!

Grew up on a 1979 Yamaha MX100 that I bought when I was 12/13 years old for $25...
It had no brakes, no foot pegs, and no kick starter because someone tried to kick start it w/o the pegs on and put the starter through the oil cover...
Parents wouldn't "let" me have a motorcycle so I plugged the hole in the oil cover with a couple of rubber washers and a small bolt, and kept it in a friends garage for a couple of years. Talked my dad into giving me $100 bucks to buy it from that same friend a couple of years later and put the cash into brakes, pegs, and a present for my girlfriend at the time... kick starter never fit again because of the bolt through the cover...rode it that way for years until all other demands of life kept me off of it.
Just happy to be back on two wheels.
2020 883 Iron.
Looking forward to taking it apart and putting it back together bit by bit.

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!!
