Picked up my new Bonneville Black yesterday! I drove it home in the back of my truck(not comfortable on the highway yet). Unloaded it and went for a modest 40 mile ride. This bike is so easy to ride. I am very happy with the way this bike handles. I already feel very comfortable on it. My only other riding experience is on small dirt bikes.
I already got the "what year is that" question on her maiden voyage!
Couple of questions. When first starting it, should I let it warm up or just ride with the choke on? Also, can someone give some insight to attaining the correct idle? It seemed high so I adjusted it lower(once fully warmed up of course) and I'm not sure if it is right. Might still be a little high. I have no tach, so it's by ear. Any problems with the idle being too high?
Anyways, great to be on the road! Even better than I expected.

Stay safe!

-Aaron
