To all of you who wished me well during my recent being down, the good news is that my surgeon is perfectly willing to watch things instead of cutting me wide open to remove part of my colon. The REALLY good news is that I get to keep riding all summer. And yes, exavid, I will change out those leaking gaskets on my '78 wing. And darn of all things, my harley has started to leak some oil.

Good news Rodger!:clapper:So what's news about a HD leaking?

Who but a HD rider needs to carry a bottle of oil?

Come on guys, HDs are far from junk. They aren't what I want, mainly for two reasons that aren't related to quality. I can't come up with the big bucks they want for what you get. I don't like the phoneys who try to be bad a** and hang around in large groups. I know there are a lot of great guys with HDs, but I don't care for the image the majority are trying to put on.

The folks I know with HDs (two of whom are completely normal) haven't had much trouble with their bikes. I do like the look of them, they sure as hell say 'motorcycle'. I'm happy with my Wing and enjoy taking a poke at HDs due to the pomposity of a lot of their owners (all present excluded). I wouldn't throw one out of my garage if someone wants to donate to me. I'd even ride it! Probably not for long trips though.
