Happy to join the HD forum so hopefully you guys can point out parts for me that i havent found yet! lol

Just purchased a new 2020 Lowrider S in silver, its at the dealership still, im having them install a bassani 2into1 exhaust installed, S&S cam, and dyno tuned. (warranty is being kept if they do it, made me a decent deal and gave me the exhaust for free) Ive got a bunch of parts on the way, new LA fairing, and some 14' Tbar pullbacks

Hi TMD, GOOD to have u here man. HOPEFULLY u tried Coopers Old Time BBQ and (get ready for this nex tone) FRANKLINs BBQ eh? Come on, cough it up. Did u try them both? Both as u know right there in Austin u LUCKY guy...........


Be sure to come to the games section. We have a lot of fun there and get to know (and joke around) with each other.

Now, back to business.

There will be an initiation having to do with a greased pig, a rope, and some hot sauce a little later today.

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

YES!!! It is bcs the IBA ate at Llano is why I Was asking abt Austin. I went to the Austin location but did not realize they were opening but not open just yet a few years back. It would be another month.

1. Is the Austin location as good as Llano?
2. Franklins I heard is in a BAD area. Tomorrow my friend leaves for Austin (the area) but asked abt the safe aspect to Franklins. Is it safe to go there ? Do and you REALLY need to be there like at 8AM and they are sold out by 11AM or something like that??

Thanks TMD for the info.

Nah nothing to be worried about at all, though Austin has become riddled with homeless, that's probably the only people your friend will deal with, but yes get there early as they do sell out quick. The Llano location is the best location by far, another great place is Texas Pride BBQ in Adkins TX, down towards San Antonio. There is a local privately owned chain of bbq places called Smokey Mo's that's actually really good too (i recommend the chicken.) Now if youre wanting the Holy Grail of BBQ id say go to SNOWS BBQ in Lexington on Saturdays only, get there early cause there will be a massive line. The old lady that runs the place Tootsie puts everyone else to shame, shes around 80yrs old, does all the bbqing herself.
