Default hello

hi harley people,

I am Andrew Ruddy. I am deaf and 22 years old. I own the 2003 Road King Classic (100th anniversity Edition). I bought it as used because only i can afford the used harley davidson. My father own 2001 Road King Classic which i love it and i rode it a lot (i put about 3,000 miles on it while my dad only drive like 1,000 miles a year...) so i had to get myself one. i love my Road King classic as i just installed the MPH/ RPM gauge to replaced the MPH only because i need the RPM to watch if engine make a problem or act like misfire. Also the Rpm are help me a lot to make me shift on time instead wear the engine out... I did put the Oil Pressure gauge kit so i can make sure it have the oil pressure so i dont have to worry about it... the bad thing for me if the oil pressure make bad drop then engine are problem...

I am working for Crossroads Chrysler Jeep Mercury Lincoln as Service Technician. i am almost third year of employee at there. i own a lot of tools (snap on, mac, matco, and Craftsman) so i can fix my harley if it have problems or i want replace the part like install the primary chain Automatic tensioner ( i has parts with me now but no time)...

Anyone in this forum are deaf??? i am member of Hoosier Deaf Biker group. some of member from Hoosier Deaf Biker were my teachers from Indiana School for the Deaf...

thanks,
Andrew Ruddy
