Welcome Eric to the forum !! I can tell by this thread that you are truly excited about being a new T/ B owner, if it is anyway I felt over 30 years when I got my T/B ( Butterflies and Bitter Sweet would sum it up). A lot of great info was mention above and more to come in your future so soak it in. Some of our members are fortunate to live close to T/B Guros ,you are one. You mention you live near Richmond, VA. I would suggest you go to the Vendors section and find Steve V ,he's close to you in VA, you want go wrong !! ENJOY....
