    Hi all, 

    I recently bought a new street bob (I have named him Traxx) in January after riding a street triple and a ninja prior. I am the only member of our riding group on a cruiser so thought I would join up to get advice and chat with fellow harley riders. 

    Look forward to chatting with you all!

    Hi and welcome.....something not quite right about referring to something you ride as a "him" though

    Haha, I decide what they are when I go for my first ride. I thought ladies were allowed to have male bikes?

    Whoops didn't realise you were a chick...sorry bout that. Now I see the avatar pic too
    It's been a bit weird before when blokes have called their bikes hims. I'll remove my foot from my mouth.
    All the best! Good to see a chick riding a big twin

    Hi Jo and welcome. Hopefully your fellow riders won't bitch too much when people in cars and walking look at your bike all the time and not at their's.

    Soft...

    haha nah they are good soft, but sometimes I get left out because I cant keep up with the crazy speeds anymore - but at the end of the day I have a much nicer ride when we are just cruising along then they do so it evens out.

    Thanks for the welcome GT! yeah I dont mind really, will be even better once its got some pipes too :) 

    Thats a very cool name! Not all my vehicles had human names - my first car was called deathtrap! and it certainly wasnt because it went fast.

    Two smell of death's definitley sounds like a story!
