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!!

Hey, have u eaten at Coopers Old Tyme BBQ in Austin? If so, what did you think??
Thanks for that warm (and comical) welcome.

Yep been to Cooper’s, good stuff. I’ve got my own smoker and I’d say 7/10 times I have BBQ I spend a couple days and cook it myself (make my own BBQ sauce, beans, greens, etc). I think I do a better job than going out, but maybe I’m biased .

no haven’t been to Franklin’s - I kinda have a problem with standing in line for food like you have to there (just refuse to do it). Would like to try it though and no it’s not in a bad area. Then again, I’ve ridden to S America and back and had zero problems when 9/10 people thought I was crazy because of the cartels, FARC, etc

Usually meet some of the best people and have some great times in places a lot of people want to put down or be afraid of.
