First to welcome a new member, how cool is that!
Welcome to the family, you'll see everything here as in a regular family, the joking, the harangues, and best of all, a bunch of like minded folk who love sharing tons of information hard won to help the rest of us get these great bikes on the road. One spot of advice though, for every question you have, check the FAQ's before starting a thread, it has most likely been asked 20 times and is probably already been answered. This'll save you a whole lotta time waiting for people to reply.
Peace and Long Rides,
Jeff
