Aren't many EVOs left that haven't needed, or still need, a fair amount of wrenching; time and mileage catches up with the best of them. With all the way better aftermarket goodies available, lot of guys are getting those, and a lot (most? all?) Harley dealers won't install them. Tends to attract more folks that aren't afraid to dig into their own machines, I think.
Folks that rely on the dealer, or get a new bike before they might have to worry about replacing a drive belt, probably never learn much about how things work on their bikes. Still a lot of good twinkie mechanics, though. That's good, 'cause I sure ain't gonna work on one.

How do you do that? By adding granulated cast iron to the oil so it forms the rings in place after pouring in?

There's always my favorite:
"I just bought a new 2015 FLHTCIEIEIOOOOO and I'm putting the MegaThunder Earsplitter II exhaust system on it. I heard an Earsplitter I but I don't think it's that loud. I could still kinda hear the radio if it was on '11.' Next up is the new Kury combination cup holder and Ipad docking station. But what I really need to know is: Does this windshield make my butt look big?"
