First time Harley-Davidson owner
Hello all,
I purchased my first Harley from a good friend a few weeks back, 2006 Dyna Wide Glide. Ive been riding sport bikes for the past ten years. Its been kinda fun, but uncomfortable. Im pumped to get out on the road for hours at a time without my back, wrists and abs hurting. Plus, you cant beat the sound of a v-twin straight-piped. I look forward to learning about my new bike and spreading the knowledge I already have.

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!!
