Maintentance Prices $$$$
The wife is always giving me hell about how expensive my 07 Fat-boy is to maintain. Yeah the tires are expensive, but would you agree that the bigger the tires the longer they last? I use synthetic oil so I go longer between changes. What everyone's opinion about the pricy maintenance for a Harley, is it really worth it?

It depends on who’s doing the maintenance Still probably cheaper than her |
The bigger the tire the longest it last? Is this your first bike? After reading what you wrote,sell it.

No, it’s not worth it. Sell it and buy a Vespa. |

As in diameter, Any extra that ya pay to have the bigger rims&what not that go's with that mess and your gonna pay more, No savings ratio on tread as compared to stock, If not the senerio then forget what I said, Mines well go with stock sizes, They have cheeper companys that make the same tyre&sizes, Depends on what you trust your life with, Your Wife's life with iff'n she rides with ya, More info from you than 1 post wonder is needed to make accurate assessment on your desired results, Or forget what I posted, |
Bigger the tires, the longer they last.

Also if you have someone doing work for you that adds up quick. All bikes are expensive to maintain. I would suggest to politely point out to your better 3/4's that riding is mode of transport, plus hobby, plus, therapy, plus fun, plus hobby all rolled into one. If you start looking at how many things that bike covers, the cost of ownership is not that significant. |
