Bought a 98 Dyna
Just picked up a beautiful 98 Dyna Glide Convertible. It lives in North Georgia with access to some of the best roads in North America. I'm 66 and have been riding all my life and haven't owned a Harley in quite a few years. A Gold Wing was given to me but couldn't get used to the high center of gravity. Sold it and picked up the Dyna. I also have a dirt bike and a sport bike. Love having the Harley to compliment the group.

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!!

Welcome from North Beach, FL., USA!
Just in case you have not done this.
Add a Signature Line in your USER set up for your bike year, model, and all the letters that Harley recognizes it with so others see at the bottom of all your post. This enables others to know your exact model if you ever ask a question.
And 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.
Your all set.... Enjoy the ride! ______________

You made a very good point about the Gold Wing.
I used to think the only thing I did not like about the Gold Wing was the cramping of your feet because of the engine being so close and sticking out the way it does.
But now the you mentioned the higher center of gravity… That is a darn good point!
Good to have you here my friend.
