Only reason I have never owned one till now is that the stories I heard..."ride it and parts fall off!" Just always had that fear... Guy I bought it from says its not like that at all...so i hope he wasnt telling me a saleman story...LMAO!
I guess I'll take it down to the local stealership and have them check things out for me...

Welcome and congrats. +1 on the indy and avoid the dealer. Before you ride have all critical fasteners,tires,spokes,plugs,wires,fluids and brakes checked. I am sure other posters will help with more.
