G'day all,

                Have just bought my first Harley after owning many jap bikes. I really like it, It has almost a live beating heart. This is my first time I have ever posted to a forum so I wont be surprised if I have stuffed it up. The bike is a wide glide with the flames on the tank. I have always loved the chopper look and I like how the bike sort of looks old school. I have alot of questions but I will wait and see if I have done this right. My bike is totally stock so I wont add a picture ( dont know how yet ). But I look forward to getting to know some of you, and getting your advice.

 welcome

Thanks mate

I'm in Townsville, I just made the 800ks run in today. I have nursed tha bike to this stage but I am so confused if I should ride it hard or nurse it to its first service. I have heard sooooo many different opinions!! If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very thankfull.

Welcome Big Bird hope you enjoy the forums and congrats on geting your first Harley what part of auss do you come from.

Car,bike ,outbourd whatever...The key is to vary the speed and dont let it lug. When you are a long run dont sit at the same speed for long

G'day everyone,
Thanks for your welcomes. Looks like I wont have to go far for some good advice in the future. With regards to my bike I think I have done the right thing regarding running in. I understand lugging and try to avoid it and have tried to vary the revs without making the bike snatch ( by that i mean sort of leap if that makes sense? ) Now I have hit the 800K mark I visit the redline just now and then. A mechanic once told me - you can abuse a motor as much as you like, as long as you keep fresh oil up to it. I hope that's good advice! I live in Townsville to those who have asked. Once again thanks very much to all for the welcome.

Welcome Bigbird enjoy .
