Default newbie from the UK

I thought I would say a big hi to you all. I live in Monmouth, on the Welsh Border in the UK. Rides lots of jap 4's mostly hardtail chops[:@]. Last 5 years been Harleys first was a 72 Shovel, followed be a 1200 hot cam sporty then bought a brand new 06 Dyna Streetbob - presently 6500 miles and loosing the chrome, made good friends with a powder coater. Recent changes include stage 1, power commander, V &amp\\; H's black short shots, forwards, smoked lenses, lePera seat, drag bars on 6" riser. Plently still to do 200 in back end with 160 in front.
Had a good read of some of the threads specially fitting wider tyres - very useful.
&nbsp\\;
Talk to yo all soon
