Christ Almighty.

Several years ago I paid $1,500 for a tire machine. It has MORE than paid for itself.

Consider yourself lucky that in addition to the oil & filter you did not pay the dealer $250 - $300 to install said oil & filter

Don't waste money on that high priced Harley oil & filter. It isn't magic.

There’s no doubt things have gotten out of hand over the last 3.5 years.
Fortunately I can still do my own oil changes.

AMSOIL is my oil of choice and it’s 35% cheaper than the Harley price.
