Just joined. My name is Mike and I still have my first Harley that I purchased quite a few years ago. Based on value she ain't worth much and I have at least 12K more invested. So she is worth over 30K to me but with everything depreciating then I guess not! lol She is a 2005 FLHRCI Road King Classic. I'd post a pic if I can figure out how at some point. Has about 22K on her as I haven't ridden much lately with life getting in the way. I'm about to check the tensioners this weekend and they may be on the list to replace with cyco or maybe go hydraulic if I hit the lottery! Anyone on here know how to change my name from obviously my real name to a nickname? That is my first order of business! Thanks all and ride safe!

Hi Mike, the way to change your name is right here in this forum.

Go to the TOP or the STICKY area and you will see THIS......
.Click on that thread mate, and ask them if your NEW name is available and if you can have it.

In the meantime.....Ludlow eh? That is way out by Springfield. NICE riding around there for sure!!


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.


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,

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, a rough idea of your range per tank, 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, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!

Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia.......

Be sure to add an Avatar and a Signature Line in your USER set up for you and your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with if you have not already done either of the things I just mentioned.

This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question or another member interested in it may ask you a question about it.
