    Hi all

    Just discovered and joined the forum and thought I"d drop a line and say hi.

    I've been riding for about 37 years mainly on Beemers but I've now purchased my first Harley, a 2015 Street Glide "Special" about 6 weeks ago.

    What can I say, I'm totally wrapped in it, definitely having a hard time wiping the big grin of my face.   smiley

    I'm up for my first service on Monday so I'll then be able to get out and go on some decent rides. cool

    Looking forward to chatting with you all

    Cheers

    Ric

    Hi Fatbat, it's not cold, I prefer to use the word invigorating. LOL.

    Have a great day

    Welcome, you say you're having a hard time wiping the big grin of your face, lol, it's a common problem with new Harley owners. Enjoy the bike mate.

    Cheers all

    Already had a few mods done when I bought it.

    I got a set of Freedom Performance 4" pipes and a Stage 1 Air filter conversion by Screaming Eagle.
    The Harley had it's first service yesterday and a Dyno tune to dial everything in, The chart read that at around 3750 rpm I get max torque of 100.89 Nm and Max Hp of 82.

    She's definitely getting up and boogying now, Looking forward to a decent ride now to she how she feels.

    Welcome Ric, nice bike. Glad to see a different colour than all black, like most of the bikes you see on this forum.  Oh wait for it...........??.  Anyhow enjoy your new ride, maybe at least once riding in "invigorating" weather, as it certainly does get the blood moving that extra bit quicker.
