New member introduction
Good morning folks, or as we say in Wales, Bore da folks.
My name is Mike, I’m using the username of Whacker as it was my fathers nickname in the Royal Navy in the 2nd world war.
I live in a town called Bridgend, located in South Wales, in the UK. Great rides around here but the weather can be changeable.
I own and ride a 2006 Wideglide which I’ve owned since 2009. Not much a one for shopping bikes. My other bike is a modified Yamaha vmax.
Ive ridden the Harley all around the Uk and Ireland, France and N Spain.
Im retired, so theoretically could ride anytime, but grandchildren keep you busy!!
I look forward to hopefully meeting some forum members at some time.
oh yes, I forgot to mention my Harley best ever trip. Me and 2 mates flew to Vegas, hired Harley’s and 3500 miles later and 3 weeks later ended our trip in LA. We drove thro, Mojave’s desert, Route 66, Grand Canyon, monument valley, Bryce and Zion parks, Hoover dam - bloody hot, Death Valley Lake Tahoe, San Francisco highway 1 to LA.
what a trip. The Harley’s performed amazingly well, even 8 hours in Death Valley at 145 Fahrenheit.

Welcome to the HDFORUM.
I hope you continue to enjoy your ride here.
Only as a suggestion, by me as a USER, create a signature line similar to my one line on my bike information.
The year, model, and all the letters Harley assigned to the bike. It will appear at the bottom of your post.
Doing this will be helpful if you ask a question. All Harleys aren't the same with many changes and variations over the years.
Of course, you can add it to any thread with a question.
You can also add any other details you choose and a favorite picture to the signature lines.
If you like, you can also add another favorite picture for an Avatar you see at the top left of all your posts as a postage stamp.
