I’ve always had a thing for Harley’s, ever since my dad took me on my first ever ride in 2008 (I was 9) on his then newly delivered sportster 1200. As a kid, I loved watching him work on his “second wife” (as he called it, which really used to **** my mom off 😂 and I’m sure that’s what got me obsessed with Harleys ever since. Haven’t bought my first Harley yet, since I just got out got of college last summer, and been saving up a part of my pay, to buy a used sporster. dad rides a 2013 softail heritage right now and looking forward to joining him, hopefully, in a couple of months. Excited to be a part of this community.

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!!
