Default Hello from Marietta, GA

Hello everyone, I'm 28 years old and live in Marietta, GA. I play in a rock cover band called Lectric Mayhem. If you're in the Atlanta area you should check us out.

I finally joined this site after browsing it for months. I took the HD Riders Edge class about a month and a half ago because I was interested in riding. Well, after lots of research on this forum, daydreaming, and drooling at the HD dealer I decided to get a slightly used (700 miles) '07 Nightster. I cannot be happier and have been riding with a grin every day since I got it. Some mods that have been done are:
2 into 1 Black Thunder headers
SE ignition / intake
Dyno tuned
Skull accents throughout
Painted the intake black
Flipped mirrors

I've ordered my 12" mini apes and want to re-located the speedo, and get some nice whitewalls soon.

Thank you guys for putting up such a great forum.
Alex

welcome. I used to work in an office right off Delk rd, behind the wafflehouse. Lived at PatMell Place, when the old HD dealer was in Smyrna. that dealer was in my back yard. I think they are gone now.

I drive by there all the time. I just moved down here about 5 years ago from St. Louis. My band plays all the time on the Marietta Square at Hemingways (I think it used to be called Riverstreet back in the day).
