Default First post from Timmins Ont

-15C tonight in Timmins so bench racing will have to do. I am the new owner of my first Harley and first bike in 15 years. I am looking forward to riding and wrenching on a 96 FLHRI (road king did I get that part right) c/w lots of bling. There seems to be lots to learn about Harleys, the culture, the lingo, the community surrounding them.
Any general words of advice about this bike would be appreciated, it has 96,000km, is well maintained with a stock powerplant.
