Welcome....if you are a new rider, please take the MSF rider class. Get your endorsement. Buy the factory service manual, and the parts manual. Two of the most valuable tools in your tool box. Know how large your fuel tank is,,, never trust the fuel gage. Get a fuel tracker app.... I use Simply Auto. Reset your odometer at each fill up and use that as your gage. Learn to use the search function for some of your early questions Understand that certain questions will garner some very rude and crude remarks. Some questions have been beaten to death here for a number of years. Read and learn..... you will gather much info here. And if you do ask "a simple question", be prepared for smart assed responses. Best to search or read all the different threads and catagories to learn what you can before you open your mouth and insert foot.
Good Luck
I've been riding for about 25 years, but I don't have crazy mileage. My boy started riding this summer which has been amazing. I insisted he go through the HD rider's academy. I did it with him.
It was a blast and I learned a lot, even though I'm a "veteran" rider. Added bonus is that I sent my completion certificate to my insurance agent and she lowered my insurance.
If you haven't been through a rider's safety course, do it!!!
Welcome n congrats, nice.bike!!
Be aware that it's very easy to get ran over and never assume somebody sees you. Best of luck n keep it upright my friend.
