So, I don't have the tools or space to work on my bike. And for the most part, there is no other service place that I've found that will work on my bike due to the fact that they don't work on Buells or Harleys because they don't have the "special" tools.
Every time I take my bike to the HD place, a week later....something else seems to magically just dismantle itself.
I had my brakes replaced there, and when I picked the bike up I noticed some grease on the front right fork...just thought they missed a spot when cleaning it. Today I got to break in my new jacket...I noticed more grease and a small pool of fluid on the fork.
I went there and told them what had happened. And they said they there is no way they could be at fault, since changing the brakes did not require them to mess with the fork in general. Even if this is true, it's become magically strange how things just happen after a repair is done.
I enjoy my Buell XB12Scg, but I am running out of patience with HD and not being able to work on the bike myself. Just in having a Disco, I find myself in a niche place...and getting the around is the key word(s). I have the knowledge and tools to work on it, but it took time and some midnight autoing to get things done. Adding my bike to that scenario will cause issues in my parking garage.
I enjoy the exclusivity, but I may end up selling her and just dunking my head into the main stream of sadness.
For now, just a rant.
Cheers!
