Hey there! Bruce Harris, Jr. from Burlington, NC. I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to Harley-Davidson. I purchased a used '2009 XL 833 Sportster on December 12, 2022 and have been getting aquainted with it ever since. I've been riding since I was ten years old and have made it to seventy years of age thus far. Long time BMW owner/rider going back to 1973 and I currently own two of 'em; a 1977 R100S and a 2020 R1250 GS. I am a somewhat early member of the Iron Butt Association and have successfully done eight of their certificate rides. Plan to do another one this coming March.

Thanks for having me and I look forward to making some contributions from time to time.

Welcome from New York.

 

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.
