Glad to be a member of this forum.
I had my first Harley, a 79 Sportster way back in high school. Sold it, got married, had kids/career, but riding never really got out of my blood. My older son bought a Low Rider while in college. He left it here, and I'd ride it occasionally. I decided he'd get tired of me riding his bike, so I got my own once again; an 07 Fat Boy. Now my younger son is riding a Sportster as well. It never really goes away.

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, a rough idea of your range per tank, 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, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
Good Luck!!

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome. Here's the bike that started this sickness for me; 79 AMF Sportster. I'd sure like to have it back.

Welcome from North Beach, FL., USA!

Just in case you have not done both of these two important items!

Be sure to add an Avatar of your favorite shot in the USER set up for the small picture others will see in the top left corner of your post with your USER name.

And most importantly a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike model, year, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with that others see at the bottom.

This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question or another member interested in it may ask you a question about it.

​​Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________

Sir, I appreciate the advice. I'm struggling with getting my sig line to show. Any advice?

Well, there it is...but without a pic.
Never mind! I got it now. Thanks
