From: Bornheim, that`s in Germany near Bonn/Cologne
Default Hello from Germany

Hello,
I´m Thomas from Germany and bought my first Harley two months ago. I´s a Softail Standart, made in 2002. Up to now, there´s not much changed: I´ve got a Fatboy seat, and 40" wide flyerbar. A teardrop toolbox ist mounted.
I´ve joined this forum to get informations about some stuff I´ve seen on Harelys of members of this forum. Maybe they can help me to find out, where to buy it.
But for that, I´ll open another threat.

And one day in future I hope to ride a Harley on Highway 1 up in California. Near Santa Rosa, where I´ve spend a year in highschool.Always thinking of that time....

Thomas

Welcome from NY. Hope you get to do your ride in CA. I'd love to ride in Bavaria. Been there a few times but not on a bike.

Hallo Thomas,
Willkommen hier im Forum. Du wirst dich ueber die Preisunterschiede wundern. Der Kram fuer's Moped kostet hier ein Drittel bis zur Haelfte vom dem, was du in Deutschland latzen musst.

Gruss von einem, der ausgewandert ist und auch eine Standard faehrt.
