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!!

Thanks for the invite from all of you across this still magnificent country of ours!!! Even other Virginian's! Even a Canuck! I've already located a nice Springer seat in the For sale section....

Probably depends on what part of this beautiful state you're from, Karb.
But I'll bet just as many people by their tires on-line as those who buy them at a bricks-n-mortar store. The larger debate is what brand and model tire to run.
Anyway, from one FNG to another, welcome!
