Hello from Rhode Island
Always thought I had been-there/done-that when it came to motorcycles, but after many, many years I got the bug again. For much of 2019 I looked at all manner of bikes, visited many dealerships and lurked around HDforums for information and opinions. Once I decided upon a Harley, I considered several models like the Breakout and Fat Boy, but when I thought about where and how I was likely to use the motorcycle the Heritage made more and more sense. The only thing holding me back was the 'blacked-out' styling of the 2019's, which just doesn't appeal to me. When I mentioned this to the dealer this fall, he said, "We'll have you seen the new chromed version for 2020?" One look at the billiard red/vivid black paint and all that chrome and I was hooked.
Glad to be back on two wheels.

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!!
