I told you that the H-D dealer in Tennessee wanted $600 bucks to do a 10k service. I called the dealer nearest to me and they want $400. So I guess it’s going there tomorrow. I don’t think I’ll get much more than an oil change but the reason I’m having it done at the dealer is to ensure my extended warranty stays intact.

Don't blame ya. Self service oil change is over a hundred. What other items are in the 10k?

Morning Woods!

Mick, fantastic picture in the Softail thread. I had hoped someone would pull something cool off. The nearest train museum in in San Antonio, but I'm still having issues with my bike so I'm taking the SG to my VA appointment tomorrow.
