New owner in Washington

[Skydyvyr]

I've been reading the forum for a few weeks now and finally got around to signing in.

I'm looking forward to learning a lot from everyone here.

So I just purchased my first 'busa -- a 2005 with 12k miles and no service records. It seems to run great, but I'm thinking I should get it looked over and see if it needs anything done.

A couple of questions;
--Eventually I would like to do the bulk of maint, but being new to the bike, I'd like to have someone who knows them inside and out do the first work. Who, within 75 mi of Seattle, should I trust with it?
--Given the age and miles, what should I ask them to check out?

Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting to know the community here.

It's raining here in Seattle today so pics will have to wait for the sun. I was too busy riding on Satuday after picking up the bike for glamour shots. --Sorry

skydiver, nice to meet you. I hope you'll forgive me for coopting a version of your name, but I'm skydyvyr everywhere else on the Internet and since I'm simple minded, I can't remember too many usernames.

All that aside, how long have you been jumping/ how many dives?

Tufbusa, I picked the bike up at Redline in Tacoma on Saturday. I'd really like to have someone who knows thes bikes inside out to take a look at it and let me know if there is anything major it needs. Like I mentioned earlier, I got no service records with it -- I don't know if it has been loved and pampered or rode hard and put away wet. FWIW, the exterior looks great for a 12k mi bike, so I hope that the internals were cared for as well.
