just brought her home, 2006 standard

Hello Jerry and welcome from Virginia. If you don't mind, give us a little more about yourself, i.e. Location (helpful locals need to know) past rides (everyone loves to reminisce) astrological sign (for Jim)... Just kidding, don't tell him that...
 
Well good choice Jerry you will love it. Now for your 1st lesson; the Roadster model started in 2010.. however if you post a pic we will quickly determine exactly which model variant it is you have

Looking forward to learning about her from you guys.
OK!< so, its not a roadster, its a 2006 though. I am in Oregon, just south of portland. An hour from the coast, and an hour from mt hood. I will put up a picture of it shortly. Thanks for your input.
 
Ahh yours is the original/standard, and from later in 2006. 2006 is the only year in which you could have a silver or black engine. they changed engine colour that year.

some mildly interesting info - Next Rocket model
 
Welcome to the forum Jerry. Beautiful looking bike and this is certainly the place to learn how to get maximum enjoyment from her.

Happy riding
