Hello people,

Im a new rider. Picked up a 2003 VTX 1800 from R&S in woodstock about 2 months ago. Rode a couple bikes here and there and couldnt find anything I really liked. Untill I took my brothers VTX for a spin.

After checking out the board i think i may be one of the youngest riders here. Im 22.

Looking forward to some great rides on the bike.

Derek

Welcome to the board!
As said, keep watch for when us guys&gals get together, there will be PLENTY of chances as we seem to go out a LOT. :D
The rest of this is for your own knowledge on this site.
Bookmark these websites, http://tech.vtxoa.com This is the VTXOA Garage, a sister site to this message board and contains all your How-to/Tips/Tricks/Why’s and links to other helpful sites for your new VTX. http://www.bareasschoppers.com/ A fellow VTX Riders site that has many write-ups on “How-To” do work on the VTX.

There is also a helpful red Search icon at the top of every page(not the Google search). Enter your item to be searched in the "Search Query" section and click the "Search for all terms" bullet under the query. Then go to the "Search Options" section and choose a board from the "Forum" drop down menu. This will limit the results to your search so you won't get pages of "Fluff" .

The purpose of the "Search" is to offer a member the opportunity to research his/her question better. There is so much information from past threads that you may never see because that member is no longer here, or doesn't see your new post, or just won't respond to the same question. So use it to your advantage and enjoy the board! View this funny and informative film about posting and searching…

Also, take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the forum. At the top of every board there are threads that are tagged as "Sticky" These threads are "Sticky" because they contain very important/valuable information about the VTX and everyone should read them.
The thread at the top of the 1800 tech board called, "Air, Fuel, Motors..." will answer most of the performance questions...
