New From Kingston Ontario

Hello,

New in here, looking to learn and share knowledge, I have been riding for 7 years now, the first bike I ever bought was a 2005 Yamaha R6 that I love, but always wanted to buy a cruiser,1st time HD owner Here.

My Father recently passed and left me his 1995 Sportsters 1200 (got to spend a lot of time with him fixing and getting this bike to where he wanted it) we were in the hunt for a cruiser for myself but never got to it. From Ontario so waiting for the riding season which can’t come soon enough. I’ll have to start looking for some new gear soon. i find the hardest thing to shop for is a new helmet

Thanks for taking the time to read my intro

JD

1st time taking it for a ride

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan!
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!!
