Default Rookie of the Year


New to HD, but good friend of mine has owned many since 1983. Just got acquainted with a 2021 Sport Glide at Mulholland HD, formerly Top Rocker, and after seeing the butt rape price of it used, and stock, over MSRP, and then scouring every single used one for sale by a HD dealership with this Covid crappery going on and fake shortages, finally found a nice 2018 FLSB with 2 keyfobs for sale with one owner and 15.6k miles on it. Twisted Cherry Red, and about $3000 in options, seats, risers, Garmin GPS, crash bars, Gustafson wind screen, all done the way I would have done it.

Been riding with the friend locally, maybe one day you see us, him on his 2022 limited edition El Diablow, and me on a Sport Glide baby bagger.

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.
