Default Canadian new guy....

Hey everyone!

New to the forum, and new to Harley! I can't wait to pick it up!!!

Started with a 2011 Ninja 400R. After feeling the love for riding, I was making longer trips, and 600+ km in a day was getting very hard on me on that bike. So then I got a 2009 Suzuki Boulevard M90. Loved in for a few years, but the comfort wasn't there. On Friday the opportunity arose to get a 2010 Street Glide, and I was all over it. I have wanted a Street Glide for years, and now I own one

So, here I am, came to the forums to learn! After the test ride, I knew there is a lot of little things for me to learn about Harleys. It was the first time I'd ever been on one. From what all the buttons are for, to making sure I don't set the alarm off. So any advice will be appreciated! I am sure there is a wealth of knowledge here, and I also imagine the dealership will skip some instruction when I go to pick it up this week.

Time for me to start reading many threads!

Some new HD owner advice...

- Step 1, read the owner's manual.
- Step 2, if PO didn't pass on owner's manual - go buy one.
- Step 3, buy a service manual for your ride.
