Default Hello from Europe

I say Europe because i travel a lot around it so thought it appropriate.
So finally i am retiring at the age of 60 next year.
i have been riding since i was 16 and have had 33 bikes mostly Triumphs and Nortons and the odd Jap bike but had to give it up 10 years ago after a bad accident but now back in the game.
I am after my first Harley, i have test ridden 3 that have interested me and still can't make my mind up.
Street Bob
Softail standard
Low rider S

I am 6ft 1ins tall and must admit after a 10 year break am a bit nervous especially as the crash put me in a coma
So many + and - to each bike from cost to pillion and hight
I am siding towards the Low rider as i have always liked the Dyna (why on earth did they stop making them) however at a huge gap in costs between that and the standard it's a tough one

What do you think and thanks for having me...

Default How Product Managers Can Use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest To Create Product Buzz

As thing pioneers living and working in the 21st Century, we if all else fails contemplate the significance of online media. Gigantic levels of us have clearly now added these capacities to our thing boss proceed. In any case, finding just unequivocally how to use these new instruments that grant us to contact our customers is currently something that we are in standard doing engaging with. What we need is some expert heading on which online media instruments we ought to use and just legitimately how to push toward using them.

Twitter

Possibly the best abuse that Product Managers make is that they envision that online media is associated with scattering. We trust it to be a way to deal with oversee control direct edify the world concerning our thing improvement definition. We end up putting a proportionate story out on each online media instrument. Regardless, every contraption is novel and each one expects that you should relate to your story startlingly.

Twitter is connected with standing separated enough to be taken note. Enduring they are at present after you, those tweets that you give concerning the going with kind of your thing or the new customer that you just joined will get investigated. In any case, the thing may be said about each and every other individual?

Unintentionally, Twitter is about the hashtags (#prodmgmt) . What you need to do is to research what hashtags are moving when you go to make your tweet. Right when you know this, make your tweet fitting to this hashtag, trim the hashtag in your tweet, and address your tweet as a blueprints that will make your perusers deferral and think rapidly. Expecting you do the level of this unequivocally, your perusers will change into extra things and that is the means by which you spread the word about your thing.

Facebook

Facebook postings are about the image that you join. People who see your posting will be seeing a gigantic store of various postings in the interim. You should save the work to make an image that will stand enough isolated to be seen and get them pleasantly enamored to control and examine your copy.

What you need to do next is to equip them with unequivocally the information that they need to know. When people are searching for your thing, which parts do they use to limit your thing and others? Notice these parts to help your possible customers with exploring your thing.

On Facebook it is OK to go for the framework. Harden an affiliation that has the words "buy now" before it. On Facebook, expecting you need somebody to achieve something, you need to demand that they do it.

Instagram

Instagram is about you acting human thing boss. Instagram is enormously, person. It is a way to deal with oversee manage control get those typical minutes. Instagram is in like manner about pictures - guaranteed pictures. People who are seeing your Instagram need to know answers to questions like "where are you?" or "what are you looking at?".

The photos that you post on Instagram don't should be generally fundamentally as cleaned as the ones that you post on Facebook. These are the photos that seem like you snapped them with your cell camera - considering the way that you did!

Instagram doesn't allow you to get affiliations close by your photos. The basic where you can have joins is in your Instagram bio. Make your photos enough shocking so people go to take a gander at your profile and starting there they go to find really concerning your thing.

Pinterest

People go through Pinterest to look their dreams or to find how to finish things (utility) . You need to guarantee that your posts support both of these sentiments.

Unequivocally when you are using Pinterest you need to concentrate on that you are taking the key steps not to just sell your thing. Thinking about everything, you are attempting to show your customer concerning how they can push toward dealing with the issue that your thing was made to help them with settling. Give your potential customers setting and show them on a very basic level all that they should contemplate your thing.

On Pinterest you can use generally more message to isolate your thing. Remember, people come to Pinterest when they are ready to buy things so they will offer more energy researching what you've posted. They'll other than be looking at it with a focal eye so guarantee that you require some test to make unmistakably!

What All Of This Means for You Buy instagram likes

All together for your thing to be critical, as what director you need to get a conversation rolling with your likely customers. One of the most astounding ways to deal with oversee manage control doing this is to use the current electronic media contraptions to interface with your likely customers and enlighten them concerning your thing. This cutoff should be a piece of all that primary technique of working liabilities.

Sorting out which online media instruments to use is the fundamental new turn of events. The experts suggest that you base on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. For these contraptions you should get what its party is looking for and you'll have to make a person that will work with that get-together.

This sure has the outright of the stores of being a colossal pile of effort. In any case, for reasons unknown, it is an everything contemplated unprecedented way for you to contribute your energy. If you can show up at your online media swarm with a message that they need to hear, then your thing may change into an overnight instance of beating torture!

Welcome from North Beach, FL., 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 Stranglers, GREAT to haveu here. Yuppers....europe has GREAT riding!!

Welcome my friend. Other questions outside of a WELCOME are better asked elsewhere. Ride Safe!


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 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!!
