Hello!
I've wanted to register for this forum for a long time, but I like to watch from the outside. I think it's time to bring my thoughts to you. I'll tell you a little about myself, my father has always been a biker for as long as I can remember and always rolled me with him in good weather. Probably in my genes, I don't like cars, but always with awe at the custom or usual big bikes. Now I travel and seriously think about buying one of them. There are a lot of problems and positive aspects to this, but I'm willing to take a risk.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding.
Good Luck!!
