Default Need help - Can't change oil

Alright guys, I need some help here. I have all the stuff, new filter, oil, spark plugs and service manual. I just need someone to come do it when I am at work. I will put whatever beer you want in a cooler out there for you too.

You see the problem is this. The service manual tells you to turn on the bike to warm up the oil. What it doesn't tell you is to have someone else do it. I had planned on doing it yesterday when I had a 5 hour block of time scheduled away from the family. That turned into 5 hours of riding with a buddy and a stop at a local brewery for a growler of beer. It was a great ride, but my baby needs some maintenance. We also went down a dirt gravel road and I have the same problem with cleaning her. So maybe you can clean her too?

Really? No one to change it for you? Well I don't drink, so I'll change it and clean it for $1million and air fare. Or you could get your butler to do it!

I don't drink, but the sandwich would be great. Good choice. I'll help if you share it with me.
