Howdy Folks.
Hey there, Just joined the site a couple days ago and have been doing alot of reading. There's lots of good info from alot of experience here I see.
Purchasing a 2014 Ultra Limited with about 20.000 miles. Doesn't look to be ridden hard so in pretty good shape. I've ridden some type of bike off and on all my life. Wife and I have vacationed in different parts of the US and rented Harleys to be able to ride in new location. This is our first one to own and looking forward to it warming up alittle so we can get out and ride. I say warm up because here on the Texas coast we hardly get freezing weather and we have about three days coming at us. Anyway, looking forward to all the good discussions.

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, a rough idea of your range per tank, 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, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!

Be sure to add an Avitar and most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for you and your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with if you have not already done this.
