New To Riding

[GypsyR]

Bonus to assembling yourself is that you get a good close up view of everything about the bike. Then later on you can say stuff like: "Wait, that doesn't look the way it used to." That is why I always wash my own bikes. Washing is time to get up close and personal with eyes on about everything, on alert for issues or anything different. Loose/missing bolts, cables rubbing, exhaust heat melting something, etc.
