I do oil and filter change once a year and usually put around 12K miles on the bike. I have been doing that for years and never had a problem. I know everyone here will say that's too many miles but that's what I do.
No. I can honestly say I was away and on that "other" site for a couple years...
But I am retired and now able to look at my fellow Americans and have discovered the thought process of many has become rather addled and smart-a**ed in recent years.
A friend of mine who is a clinical psychiatrist says "it is an epidemic" whereby EVERYBODY has to be number ONE and must put down others to show that THEY ARE NUMBER ONE.
It is like "they must think it is a race AND THEY HAVE TO BE FIRST."
In the case of my helpful suggestion based on the fact that oil is cheap and motors cost real money---then somebody HAS to come along and BLOVIATE that I AM AN IDIOT because it is STUPID to do what I suggest---and change your oil real early and often during break-in...
I already KNOW that I am an idiot.
But would someone please tell me why there is an epidemic of smart mouthed folks that have to put down everybody lately?
Why do people rush to get in front of your car or bike, then slam on the brakes and then hang a right turn and leave the highway---after almost causing an accident? Why do people now tailgate within inches of the guy in front of them?
Why it is simple... TODAY EVERY BODY IS A WINNER AND SUPER HIGH SELF ESTEEM RAGES LIKE SOME SORT OF VIRUS IN THIS COUNTRY.
Or: They must think everything is a RACE and they HAVE to be first.
And I for one am simply sick of all the jerks. There are a LOT of them.
Very well said - Its great to read something from someone who thinks the same! I've been saying this for years.
the smart mouths have to dish out the ignorant comments to make themselves seem better. whatever they need to build themselves up.
A society were they think its cool to be an asshole!
Everyone wants to be the top cockroach on the pile - but even if you get there - your still a cockroach.
Relax your habits people - try to leave the pile for the mASSES
Also - just because you pay Harley for the maintenance - how do you know that they are doing everything they are supposed to and not just the noticeable things ! Do It Yourself
