Good for ya Stick!!!!
Got mine in June, and I've put over 10k on her already. I'm on the North side. Before long you'll be taking day long rides. Saturday, I left the house at 10:00 and didn't pull back into the garage till 7:00. Rode north, ran the Cherohala from west to east, then back home...320 miles. All leaves gone at 3k ft and above, but still a great ride.
Take it slow and build your confidence...and ENJOY!!!

Beav

good for you -
I got my sporty 3 years ago after a 25 year riding layoff.
I'm looking at a Heritage in the spring, and will start planning the log rides to Sturgis and Daytona within a few years. Can't wait !
