Default Hello all

Hi everyone,

Great to be here amongst you all.
I currently own a 2022 Fat Boy, and this is my second HD. Previoulsy I had an Iron 883 from 2015 which I heavily modded.
I've been ridiing since my early 20's and have been wandering around since '73.. you can do the math
I was an avid sportsbike rider (some naked bikes too but mostly supersport) until a year or so ago then I got bitten by the Harley bug. Totally different way of riding but I enjoy it so much more.

Looking to improve my knowledge, meet like minded souls and generally enjoy the experience.

Groetjes

Sosose

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. 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.
