Default Hello. New member.

Hello,

Not sure what to say here. I have alot of questions for these forums, so I figure it's a good place to start by introducing myself.

I am Sean, I am 28 years old. MWC.

I have never purchased a Harley myself. In the summer of 2008, my father passed away from Cancer and left my brother and I three bikes:

- 2007 Road Glide (SE 110) (my bike)
- 2005 Electra Glide (SE 103) (garage ornament)
- 1999 Springer (SE 96? SE motor, doesn't say what the CI is on the head) (brothers bike)

Each bike is heavily modified and customized in both motor and accessories.

I rode a little bit last summer, but have gotten alot more into it so far this summer. I have extensive experience on motorcycles and Harleys, but I have never actually had my own harley until now.

Unfortunately, dad is gone and I can't ask him any questions about these bikes. So I am hoping to get a whole slew of questions out of the way on these forums so I can get up to speed on what I actually have here.

So if some of my questions seem painfully obvious or unusually elementary, it's because I inherited these bikes "as is" and already modded and tweaked to the gills.

So, thanks ahead of time!

Sorry to hear of your loss. Welcome from Los Angeles. There are a lot of good people on this site and most are willing to help. If you have a specific bike question, just post it in the type specific thread... I.E. Touring, Dyna, Softail, Sportster... etc.
