That's what happens when you belong to the FL Crew - Lunch Bunch.

The worst thing (OK the only BAD thing) about it is needing the maintenance everytime I turn around. I am so sick and tired of giving H-D nearly 400 bucks every 5,000 miles (and I've only done it twice). There is no way it is worth that much. I knowa guy that works on Honda's... he used to work on Harleys. He's thinking of doing extra work (non Honda's so as not to interfer with his company) on the side. I may start using him if he does.

Ditto, you can pay for the required tools and Service Manual on what you save on the first 5K interval check. It typically costs me < $50 to do a routine 5K interval service with top quality Syn oil.

I can't believe I mounted a new Metz 880 the first of April before heading to the Maggie Valley trip and here I am replacing it again, 7 months & 14,000 miles later.

guys got me beat... only 25,000 miles in 23 months
