Jesus...spark plugs and now dip sticks! We sure get upset about the strangest things! Hell, at least the guy tried his best and then needed a hand! Why all the strife? Now he knows and you all helped him...why else are we here if not to share knowledge!

On dipsticks, you. Thats all that was intended, once again you asked if you were a moron. BTW, you don't meet the nicest people on a Harley.

You're not on a Harley, you're on the Internet. Dicks like you are a dime a dozen here, so you're not even being original, much less clever. Have fun alienating people.

Nicest ever on Harley-Davidson!!!

Nothing wrong with your question. A whole lot better than having done something unwise and ended up posting something like "Busted off my dipstick in the tube, what should I do now?"
