    Hi my name is Adam, and I'm from Melbourne, Victoria. I signed up here because I know I'll have a lot of questions over the next few months, and I know the wealth of knowledge on here will be vast. I've been riding sportbikes for the past 5 years, and got to a point where I wanted something different, so here I am. I visited my local Harley dealer last month and ordered one in from the states...it should arrive here somewhere in September. Now it's just a case of playing the waiting game.

    Anyway I apologise in advance for the numerous stupid questions I will most likely post up over the next few months haha.

     

    Thanks

    Adam

    What's on order, or is that a need to know basis?

    Not necessarily, but I have been keepin it hush hush when it comes to some people. It's a 2013 Sportster Seventy Two. Being my first Harley I couldn't see myself jumping straight onto one of the bigger bikes.

    Nice work on the Fat Boy by the way. If I had more muscle on me I would definately head in the Fat Boy direction.
