Haven't you been keeping up on what is happening in the auto and motorcycle world? the manufacturers are designing vehicles that are similar to some of the older classics (Mustangs, Camaros, T-Bird, etc). this is just MOCOs way of making the '08s replicate the old school, oil dripping Harleys from yester year.

Oh it's connected to the bifarkle valve...that explains why the spedtrometer gears whistle so much when I press the side brakes.

A puddle of oil under a new Harley? Now THAT is nostalgic ... Takes me all the way back to the AMF days!

[quote}Just then he swiped the floor and pulls up a very very oily finger. I look down on the floor (under the tranny approximately) and see a nice size puddle of oil.


Oh Oh, is it Honda that we were rumoring looking at buying Harley Davidson out or has AMF come back on to the scene?

Now you all know that if someone posts it on an internet message board, then it must be a true story
Totally true story - believe me I'm not that creative !

if it's a new bike, it could be overflow. Maybe they overfilled the fluids. I think most times they do.

Remember- they're "technicians" now. Not mechanics.

You want a real mechanic- you'll have to pay for it! Don't you know?
