WELCOME to a WHOLE NEW WORLD!
Like has already been said, stick to the back roads, ride YOUR ride, don't let another rider or vehicle make you feel like you need to go faster, and assume you are INVISIBLE, because you ARE! My wife hasn't been riding with me long, but one of her observations was how many more bikes she sees now that she's spending time riding on one. You'll have the same experience, I'm sure!
Remember, there are two things that WILL get you hurt or killed.
1) Riding beyond your limits, you'll know them, and they will change.
2) It's not YOUR limits that you need to be worried about, it's EVERYONE ELSES!
Be safe, and be a part of the forum. There are some great guys who share your new found love, and who will help you in any way they can!

Welcome to the forum. I'm new too, not to Harleys but new to the forum. I'm a troublemaker so look out!! LOL.
Since you are starting with a grown man's bike you probably won't be influenced by the blackout crew on the forum. If so, make dam sure you make that bike as bright and loud as you can. You WANT cagers to see/hear you!!! Local kid here riding his totally blacked out night train got hammered by a truck that simply could not see him!! Eveything blacked out with smoke lenses!! You ask for trouble, you will probably get it one way or the other. Just sayin...............And you tar babies need to know that flamming me is like pouring water on a ducks back! The reason? I plain don't give a chit!!
Welcome to this friendly forum, except for me!! LOL
