Morning gents! It is with optimism that we embark upon yet another season of pro football. I shall hang the Packer flag in anticipation of many victorys.

Did that yesterday. I find it to be my own micro-case study of crowd tolerance. That and I never get out of there for under 200 bucks. It's as bad as a Harley dealership.

Mornin toakers. Never been to a Costco. Only reason I visit the dealership was a free pool table. Haven't been to the dealership here, but I'm sure my bikes are too old for em anyway

I will buy some oem parts from them on occasion. I try to use the dealers now and again for parts purchases just to do my part to keep them in business. I'm sure those 2 or 3 oil filters I buy really help keeping the lights on.

Two guys headed for Sturgis pull into the dealer I bought the RK from. Guy walks up to the service counter and asks if someone can take a look at his bike ( says there’s a winning noise coming from the cam chest ) Service writer ask what year is the bike?. Guy tells him, to which he replies “Nope” Harley Davidson won’t let us work on anything 20 years old or older 😳.


can you feel the brotherhood, the feeling of being part of the family .

I used to buy most of my OEM parts from Surdyke ( for the discount) , that’s not happening anymore . Probably be more inclined to go after market now . Of course I will use my Harley cc points for OEM, that’s no out of pocket cost to me .

Most folks that work on their bikes realize oem parts are usually better than aftermarket. Not always, but usually. Only reason I step in the building.

Same thoughts here Jack. There's no new Harley in the forceable future for me.
