I purchased a Night Train yesterday. It's getting delivered today. Any special advise for someone who is new to Harley?

First, Welcome to the Forum. This is a great place to hang out and learn about Harleys. Second, order a shop manual for you bike. You will be able to save yourself some money and avoid the grief of screwing something up by guessing. Third, listen to the guys and gals on the board here. They really know what they are talking about.

[:'(]

I am new to the forum and may be doing something wrong... Upon my entering a topic or attempting to amend my profile I always get the following message "Either the feature is disabled, or you do not have sufficient permission"... If I ignor it and go to one of the forums I am now logged on as guest... Both issues force me to log-on, sometimes several times... Is it me or a software issue???

Thanks,

When you log on, check the Use Cookies box...that will keep you from inadvertantly getting logged out. Next time, try using the Forum Issues area instead of hijacking a new members thread

1) NEVER let anyone ride your bike.
2) make sure you always have full coverage.

What part of Texas are you in? I'm just south of Dallas.
