New to HD
Hello all,
Been a member of various forums for various things for the past 20+ years and have always found them to be a wealth of information and an opportunity to make connections. I'm a new member of the HD family picking up a 2019 Stage 3 Sport Glide from a guy up near Temecula, CA. Still fairly new to riding (3 years), but I have to say, my Harley seems smoother than the Kawasaki I'm coming from. Happy to be here, and hopefully I'm a Harley owner for life.

Welcome from North Beach, FL., USA! 
Just in case you have not done this.
Add a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike year, model, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with so others see at the bottom of all your post. This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question.
And an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post.
Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________

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!!
