Talking Newby

Hello everybody. Been away from the Harley crowd since 1993 when I broke my neck for the second time. A very good friend gave a 1997 Heritage Softail with 4k miles on it. Been sitting for 25 years. Went through it and put an Andrews EV 3 cam and an S&S Super E. Tires are next as I don't trust the one on it after sitting for so long. Hope to have some fun this summer, Taking it to Colorado August. Get out of the Vegas heat. Korvettekarl

Well a big howdy from Vegas. Always wanted to visit "down under" Beautiful place from all I have seen. Thanks to both of you for making me feel welcome. Lived on Andrews Air Force Base until my father retired form USAF as supply sergeant for Air Force One in 1969. Been in Vegas ever since.

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.
