    Hello All

    I am new to the site so thought I would say hello. A bit about myself.....I live in Bunbury Western Australia and.....well I never use to like Harleys and have had most of the rice burners over the years, the last one being a 2002 Hayabusa. In late 2007 I bought a Nightster and two months ago I bought a 1993 Heritage so...I guess you could say I am now hooked. I work offshore supervising saturation diving and at the time of writing this I am about 200 k's off the east coast of India. This looks like a very good site and I am pleased to be able to join it.  I would like to be able to load a picture of my bikes but for the life of me cannot work out how to do it. I have sent a message for help though and hopefully I will be able to load them at a future time.

    Anyway regards to everyone and stay upright .

    Wayne

    Welcome to the Forum Wayne, from South Oz. Seems to be a pretty big close bunch over there in the West.........You need to join up to a site like Photobucket to link photo's. Easy when you know how.

    Hi m8 from the sunny end of the country. Photos are easy to do, just go into the section about how to do avatars and photos, even idiots like me can do it, with swearing and screaming involved of course.

    Thanks for the warm welcome...Fat-Boy..yeah its a 2 month on 1 month deal......Toxic...um...thats humour right...I picked it straight away...and D'Lux sorry mate I dont think I can do anything about the optus issue..we have enough problems of our own. The conditions are pretty harsh out here...soft mud...limited visibility and ripping currents. The reason I can write this now is that we are down on weather...current is at 2 knots so we cannot lanch the bell. Its ok on the seabed (-300 feet or 99 msw) but we just cant get down there. Mind you I just might just be able to learn how to upload some pics while waiting. Anyway again...thanks everyone.

    Hello All

    Well managed to upload some pics of the bikes.....eventually lol ...... 

    The Heritage is currently in bits..new paint is going to be the same as the sporty. Except the tank which has chrome inserts and will remain that way...with an orange pin stripe around the chrome. The tank is also after market and is a fat...6 gallons or nearly 24 litres. There is also a lot more bling being added. The previous owner did a lot and I just have to finish it off. Will post pics when completed.

    The Nightster is finished (I think so anyway) except for a black oil cooler which will be fitted (if it has arrived) when I get home. Of the other extras I mentioned, I forgot rear the progressive shocks. For anyone who has ridden this bike...a new seat and a set of rear springs are a must. The original seat...well it looks good but thats about it and the rear ..being so low would bottom out......its all good now though   I mentioned it produces 85.1 hp....I didnt mention that it barks.....well it does...its loud.....I love it...only a matter of time I reckon before the cops will have a chat......however.......so far so good ....Cheers everyone!
