Welcome from Hampton Roads Virginia USA!

Just in case you have not done both of these two important items!

Be sure to add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post with your USER name.

And most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with that others see at the bottom.

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.

​​Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________

Hi MY726, GREAT to have u here. Another Floridian. YAYAYA!!!

Your question is better asked in a more appropriate forum mate. This is the Welcome Area Only.


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

Welcome from Sydney Australia. Sounds like you my have pinched a wire when you put it back together. Have you pulled it back apart and made sure no wires have been exposed?
