Ah thanks so much @BuzzCap7 . Will be having a read through everything asap. Still working remotely through lockdown. But burning to ride. This is a picture when I picked it up from the dealership. Absolutely loving it. I'd like you to meet my boy "Miles". I know bikes are normally women, but I named my bike after my dads nickname... he was the one who introduced me to the film "Easy Rider" in the early 90's and that film made me always dream of owning a Harley. He's might be gone but now when I ride it's like he's with me.

Also, thanks to everyone for the welcoming replies. It's much appreciated. Hoping to spend more time in here once life calms down.
