Thanks for the responses. Now it looks like a just need to find a bunch of people to ride out there with.

I just started riding this year and would really like to go to Sturgis and/or other big bike gatherings in the future. Are non-Harley riders accepted these days or are they still strictly HD/American events? How many people here go to these events? They look like a great time but I don't really have...

I have a pair of Draggin' Jeans. I also have the knee protection but don't always wear them. They are comfortable to ride in, luckily I can't say how well they will do in a crash yet.

The vibration is not bad, just noticable since I get none at lower speeds. 65mph is my max speed so far. I figured it was just a natural occurance with the engine but it never hurts to ask the experts since I'm still learning.

I did check the kill switch and moved it between it's settings a bunch of times. I'm going back with a multi-meter this morning and hopefully can fi...

I finally rode the bike to work for the first time today. Everybody had to come out and look at it and tell me what a great deal I got on it. Well, I went out to start it at 11:30 tonight and it was completely dead. No lights and completely dead when I pushed the starter button. I tried it with the ...

I know you need to have some kind of support under your stand when its hot to keep it from sinking and the bike falling. At what temps do you start putting something under the stand when you park.
