Default Bike Gods are against me!

I don't think the bike gods have been smiling on me this year!&nbsp\\; First, I waited 5 months on a botched paint job on my 07 fatboy.&nbsp\\; Then 3 weeks to get the corrected paint job.&nbsp\\; Then 15 minutes into the first ride of the summer, I got ran off the road by an 18 wheeler-$6k damage.&nbsp\\; 2 months later (last friday) after fighting it out w/ insurance company and getting the local HD dealer to fix the bike-the bike came home...only to find that the dealer didn't put any oil back in the bike (which leaked out at the crash site).&nbsp\\; Come to find out-the service guy at the dealership test rode it 15 miles sans oil prior to me picking it up....
&nbsp\\;
Taking up golf is looking better and better, but there's only one problem w/ that....golf sucks!!

That is some bad luck man, is the Dealer going to replace the engine or is it on you?

The dealership delivered a 08 RK classic w/ a 103 for me to ride until they figure out what to do... At any rate, the bike is still under the 2 yr warranty-I think at this point, they're probably going to dyno it to see if there's any damage, though that's just a guess.&nbsp\\; I told the service manager, "To put this in perspective-what if I took this loaner home, kept it for 2 mths, and before I brought it back, I drain all the oil (but left maybe a quart or less), then rode it 15 miles in 95 deg heat...would you guys be very happy about THAT?!?"&nbsp\\; I think he got my point, so we'll see what the outcome is....&nbsp\\;

Time to appease the Gods.&nbsp\\; Make a sacrificial offering.&nbsp\\; Anything to offer up to them?&nbsp\\; Young virgin?&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Maybe make 'em laugh at you by pissing on your bike... they'll lay off then.&nbsp\\;
