Now this one I've never heard.
Just got a call from a friend in the Chicago area. He rides with a fellow that has a new '08 Ultra w/security. Guess this past weekend he and some friends stopped for gas at a Marathon gas station, filled up and the fellows '08 bike wouldn't start. No matter what they tried...nothing. They called the dealership and they ask him where he was. He told 'me stopped at a gas station getting gas. They ask what kind of station...he said "Marathon". They advised him to push his bike approx 200 feet away from the pumps and his bike would start. ??? Dealership told them that something in the card readers on Marathon pumps interfered with the HD TSSM system. Did as advised and it started and they finished his ride.
I call BS. Has anybody heard of this. We don't have any Marathon stations in this part of the country or we'd go test it.
I DO KNOW that on my ride in July to Key West we stopped at the a Florida dealership. Tried to set my security on my '02...nothing. Wouldn't set. I sat there trying to figure out what was wrong. Bout that time one of the dealership wrenches walked out, saw me and said forget it. Said microwave towers in the area interfered with the security systems on HDs if I did get it set I might not be able to un-lock it.
I'm going to walk across the street and see if anybody in that bar has heard of this.
Could gas pumps be on there verge of taking over...?????
