New member here from the (COVID inftested) Sunshine State and excited to be part of the group. My ride is a 1998 FXDWG 95Th Anniversary Edition which I purchased new in the fall of 1997. I changed the colors to Seafoam / Birch White after relocating to FL and have the original sheet metal packed in boxes. I can't believe it's been 23 years now. It has pretty low miles at just over 12k and still looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

Inbound in a couple weeks is a 2001 FXDWG2 with less than 1k miles on it. I've always liked this CVO and never became serious about acquiring one until recently. After looking for about a year I finally picked the right one - can't wait to bring it home.

Looking forward to being part of the group!

Hi there FXD, it is good to have you here. Another Floridian. Keep in mind my friend, we have a section, regional section so you can meet up with other people from Florida if you like. They are presently getting together for their annual "convention" or whatever it is called. I am not a morning person. LOL

Either way my friend, it is terrific to have you here.

We have a ton of stuff here, like an excellent mechanical and technical section, Harley-Davidson videos uploaded by our members, humor, gun enthusiast, road trips, a food section, dark side section, great vendors, classifieds, regional activity, and a lot, a lot more.



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
