SOMETHING THAT DID
NOT MAKE ME SMILE!

I got to Harley today and my bike sounded like an old tractor when I took my helmet off. I thought, “This doesn’t sound right!”  The store owner walked by about the same time and he said, “This doesn’t sound right!” I said, “No shit!” He said,  “Bring it into service and have them jump on it so we can get you out of here so you can ride.” So I did. Two hours later I was on the road again with a new set of headers on my bike. I had to pay for it since it was a weekend and aftermarket can’t be warranted on weekends, but I’ll get the money back.

It broke right at the crossover weld. Service said that I should get all my money refunded since it’s an obvious flaw. The service I got did make me smile though. Place in the front of everyone, a loaner bike, great lunch, and having out at SFHD can’t really be considered a bad day.

Peace
