New to the forums and (finally) bought my first Harley today...'04 Dyna SG. Already searching the forums to figure out what to do when I'm not riding (how to fix fuel gauge, how to work the sissy bar QR, how to disarm the alarm lol!)

I've ridden a lot of metrics for many years and I'm an avid trail rider. Nothing I've ridden comes close to a Harley, so I'm glad I finally did what I should have done years ago... now for the upgrades!

Hey neighbor. Welcome aboard. I also road my share of metric's in the past. Did a lot of dirt bike riding when I was young. Finally decided to buy a Fatboy I had my eye on. As you said, I should have done this years ago. Lots of great riding in the Napa area? Enjoy that new Dyna.

Tons of great riding. From Napa we take 121 to Turtle Rock/ Lake Berryessa, stop for an egg roll and head north along the lake and back west to the Napa Valley. Watch the Silverado Trail after 3 on a Sunday. By then all the cagers are drunk
