Default New scoot, new user

Hello, just bought a new scoot, 84' FXRP, Live and ride in SW Fla. Retired Navy Senior Chief, have lots to learn about this bike, have owned many bikes over the years, first HD however. Looking forward to learning lots about it... first I get the oil drips cleaned up, then fix a few minor gripes....but for now have to go to work....

ready to listen and learn from all the guru's out here...
