    G'day all..just a short intro..been riding bikes some 40yrs,started with Ariel Square Four,graduated to Triumph Bonneville , AJS, BSA, Suzuki,Honda & finally the best bikes I have ridden..HD. First Harley was  new 97 Road King , then, second hand 96 Lowrider & currently 2002 V-Rod, by far the best Harley I have been on. This is not to deminish the atributes of the other style of Harley's just my humble opinion. In fact i really don't care what I ride as long as it is a Harley.lol I live in Perth WA, married some 38yrs, two married children , 3 & a bit grandchildren(! on the way). Retired  Viet Vet on service pension..was in govt job before retirement..can't say much about that..but glad it's over. I'm on a V-Rod forum in the US i  but really felt i needed to support  a home grown site. I'm glad to be accepted & hope i can help someone along the way.

    Regards Digger

     

    When I was called up I was naive,when I came home I was hurt,now i'm just bloody old ( but @ least the gov'nt is paying)

    G'Day Digger and Welcome to the forum. My ol' man missed out on being called up by a one day, I shudder to think just how different things could have been.

    Yeah, keep her shiny side up mate and rubber side down!

    Regard Todd
