Hello Fellow Riders
Hey, my name is Zeke, I’m a Marine Corps veteran and I live in Las Vegas. I currently ride a 2020 Road King I bought last month. I’ve been riding since the early 80’s my first bike was a 1983 Super Glide which was the last year of the Shovel, and since I’ve had several other bikes Honda’s, Victory, & two Yamaha nakeds which were an absolute blast to ride! That crowd was fun to ride with but more started to get involved in stunting and would stunt on rides and the young riders wanted to be young riders and where that was fun it was getting a little too hairy for me and the garage was too crowded with two bikes.
Being retired I now have more time to hit the open road so in September I rode X country back to the East Coast to see some Brothers and just get the **** outta dodge for a few weeks. Good time, wonderful memories but it was sure nice to be home again. Any riders in Ca. AZ, UT, wanna get a ride in hit me up. BTW I do enjoy dogs, talk **** about the Flyers & the Vegas Golden Knights, the Dallas Cowboy, and an occasional rip on the now home town Raiders.
Thank you admins for allowing me in this group.

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.
