    Hi Guys,

    I'm new to the HD scene, picked up my 2011 HD Forty Eight a few weeks ago now, loving it.

    I've only been riding for a year, but I've done a bit of enduro, trail biking, and I've driven a Yamaha WR250X for the first year of my license to work 5 days a week. Really eager to be able to go further than a few exits up the freeway, which my 250 just couldn't do comfortably.

    I'm a real noob to video editing and youtube, but I put this piece together in my first video edit attempt lol feel free to check it out if you like:

    I look forward to meeting more local enthusiasts and going on some regular runs.

    welcome mate from another newbie,
    cheers Steve.

    there are plenty of good roads around but unfortunately the cops like um to. By the look of your bike I doubt you like cruising to much so just be aware in the Hinterland.

    re Barnzy, Ahh cool mate, figured i needed to learn the speak around these forums lol yeah didn't want too much chrome, like the blacken out look, think I must be going through a phase lol

    re Steve L, love cruising, I'm actually getting a Nightster tank installed in a few months so extend my capacity a bit for longer rides. Also installed a 12 volt auxiliary adaptor which I'll be hiding away in a fork bag which I can use to charge my mobile on longer rides. Bought a waterproof phone bracket for the phone as well so I can dual it as a gps, it'll give me a little more peace of mind when i head off down that random road in the middle of no where knowing I have gps to fall back on if i need it to get home. Can't wait to do more cruising in the future.

    I know I didn't pick the perfect bike for long rides, but didn't want to leap from a 250 motard to a real heavy bike in one go, so opted to get a forty eight as it was in the middle region for me, right size, comfortable weight, perfect arm and leg length to the controls for my height. Just felt right for me, not to mention I also loved the looks <img src=

    mate the bike that stands out to you is the perfect bike, my son is mad keen to get a sportster but his wife says no, he just needs to work on her a bit more. I am probably the opposite to you as I only like fairly short rides, half day is perfect for me and I own a Heritage softail.

     Welcome Steveo, nice looking ride you have there. Don't worry about our mates Tim S.G, & FLSTC, it's just a bit of banter going on between them.
