I don't plan on doing a whole lot of work on my bike myself for safety reasons. Every thing I take a wrench to just turns out wrong. I am not mechanically inclined and recognize my limitations. Back in the day when cars were easy to work on, I would get a chilton manual and still figure out ways to screw things up!
So, any / all work will be done by a dealer or an indy. I believe that it actually terrifies my wife to see me do the pre-ride check as she is sure that I probably missed something! Ride on!

Knowing your limitations is a very good thing IMO. Some of the most expensive repairs started out with a tool in my hand and very good intentions.

Some of us that worked our assess off did not waste our cash on booze and partying and can now afford what we want with out a lot of drama are often called wallet bikers.
Truth is many of us put more mile a month on than to the real bikes in a year.
You life your cash your ride do it your way

Oh no we wouldn't. If I DID ride at all, it would prolly be a RoadStar, Bonneville (not the Asian one) Valkyrie, V-Max, or, if I could afford it, a Boss Hoss. Victory? I'd die first.

Wouldn't work , all the wallet bikers wouldn't trust it because they aren't getting bent over when it's time to throw the credit card down . Gotta cost to be good right ? 
As for the original post , damn there's a lot of angst floating to the surface on some of these replies . What happened kiddies that **** hit a little close to home ? Wallet biker is a term used to describe a guy trying to buy his way into something he isn't naturally and what you bunched up panty boys just can't seem to figure out " Biker " isn't about your fucing toys or how much money you do or don't make . It's about the man on the bike and all the bank in the world isn't gonna make you into something you weren't born with so get over it , like it not we are not all created equal in that department .

It is a term of disdain used by ********* who think you can only be an authentic biker if you are blue collar, had to pawn your last possession to own a bike, and do all your own wrenching. Otherwise, apparently, you are a RUB (rich urban biker) whose machine is a "wallet bike" only ridden at weekends in the summer in the dry. This, by the way, is regardless of the mileage you put in.
There's a lot of envy out there. An unattractive emotion, I always feel.
