Hello! and thanks!

I just purchased a 2008 GS Spyder. Last week I sold my beloved 1983 Honda GL1100 Gold Wing as I am getting older and felt it would be better if I moved on, sadly. A friend of mine had let me ride his Spyder for a few days to try it out. It is not a motorcycle ride, but a unique ride of its own that I found intriguing. I decided to move ahead and sell my Gold Wing, and purchase his Spyder, so I just took possession today, and doing a lot of reading and searching. I also have a 1982 Yamaha 550 Maxim that I ride to work every day, so I still get to enjoy the motorcycling world. I have worked on my own bikes all the years I have had them; the Gold Wing since 1989, and the Yamaha since it was new! I enjoy tinkering and learning, having worked in machine maintenance for over 40 years I have a lot of tools and experience, but there's always another tool you need, and more to learn about. I am sure I have a whole new world of learning to do with this Spyder and welcome this forum for my foreseeable questions! Thank you for this wonderful group, I look forward to learning a lot. Is there a place where you all recommend vendors for parts and tools? See, my first question!
