Happy to be here!
Well, I've been lurking in these forums for years, so I figured I should to try and contribute.
I used to ride in any conditions, but the older I get, the lower my tolerance for cold and wet gets. I'm in Central New York State, so that doesn't leave a lot of time for riding.
I just joined my local HOG group so I can get out on more rides, and I enjoy short runs with my girlfriend or kids (not all at the same time).
I've got a 2012 Road King Classic that I hope will be my last bike, but they keep coming out with new stuff. Jerks. I already spend too much money bolting things onto this one, I don't need to be looking at new bikes.....
Hope to be of service,
Scott

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!!
