The site's been up for a week since it's launch and I'm impressed with the level of activity. We've managed to get 13 members (I know the thing at the bottom says 14 but I have two accounts). This may not seem like much but if the trend continues we should have over 100 members in a couple of month's time and my feeling is it will snowball to even more than that.
Many of you have echoed my initial sentiment for launching this site and that was to provide a local Aussie forum for Harley riders and we're off to a flying start.
You may have noticed the gaping black spot at the top of the site, it's not there because I'm a slack designer (well maybe) but what I was thinking is that this could showcase a members bike each week. What I'll do for the time being is pick a photo from those submitted by the initial members and post it in the banner. Later we could put it to a vote or something.
Feel free also to provide suggestions as to how the site can be enhanced.

Good call on the black hole. Showing our rides is a great idea.

What I like is that we can get a buch of people in the one space with a passion about a product,and lets face it ,there are only so many models,but noone has the same bike,they are all individual,an extension of the owner if you like.That is what makes Harleys so different to other makes.In this day and age there is so much rubbish bandied around about different makes of bike being great and others being rubbish (especially on U.S. sites where everyone is so patriotic,but have a one eyed perception of things,There is no such thing as a BAD make of motorcycle today,with the way technology is.But there is a sameness about a lot of makes.Harleys are different and that is what I like about them.My bike matches me,as I am different to the next bloke,and really don't care what others think about my bike or me.This forum is a good place to meet others of a similar ilk.Harleys and bikes in general get under your skin,once you ride one for a while,you never lose the passion.I know when I am too old to ride I will still have a love of all things on 2 wheels.Even told the missus that I want to be buried in my old denim patch jacket.
King, At the end of the day when I bought my first harley in Jan this year 'Piglet' I spent a lot of time on the US forum and thought to myself ........Self, There should be an AUS forum. But did nothing about it. You bought your harley then set up this forum!!!!!! Congats to you!!!! Says a lot about who you are...........!!!!!!!!!!
tks for reminding me that , after 4 and half years, KC still hasnt given me any smilies !
*insert smilie jumping up and down here*
Thanks.
The site is probably the best now than it's ever been. The quality of posts is high and the bullshit low. As long as it stays like that I will support it into the future. Thanks should go to all the members that continue to support it and the other mods who put in the time and effort to run it.
Thanks Kc and to the other mods , Great Site .
