Looking for an edumacation
Hey all,
New to the forum and Harleys in general. I had the chance to ride one many years ago and loved it. I have always ridden honda as a kid and Kawasaki as an adult but looking to slow down (a little) and do some long-distance trips in comfort (disabled Vet with failed back surgery). I think I'm interested in the 2007 or 2008 Ultra Classic (low income so I might not have a choice but to go with the ' 07). So I'm hoping I will learn the differences here and meet some great advisors! Hope to see you all on the road.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
Thank you for your service. Welcome Home!
I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. 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, 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.
Good Luck!
