But that space never comes yet you still wish upon a star it will present itself. But, as you keep reading that desire tends to wane until you realize that it won't ever come. Still, your eyes just follow letters after letters, sentences after sentences hoping and wishing, wishing and hoping, there would be a space to rest the rods and cones of your retina. It's like a never empty box of Alpha Bits cereal. One you start pouring the cereal it never ends. You just wait for that line feed or, what some call a carriage return. You know, that metal bar on the right side of a typewriter. It's the bar you push to the left after the bell rings. You can set it to how many lines you want added. Are you old enough to know what a typewriter is? I am. The problem is, I can't add any blank lines to your post. Then there is your title. Sol? Sol is the fifth note of a major scale. Remember? Do, Ray, Mi, Fa, Sol ... It also represents one full rotation of the planet Mars or a Martian solar day. Abbreviations can be difficult to discern. Is it a texting abbreviation like u r not happy with your Harley? I'm old and don't know all the texting "lingo". Just typing all this is putting my rods and cones in a tizzy. Is tizzy a real word? Come to think of it I haven't used that word in a very long time. Now, since I am meaning to change subjects i would normally start a new paragraph. I'm not because I like to use all the pixels on my computer screen. I believe there is medication for that but I am not taking it. The new paragraph refers to the HDForum rules. Usually, new members should go to the aptly named subforum "Welcome Area Only" and post an introduction to themselves. It is obviously too late for that. I see that you have met Twizted Biker and OldEnuf2NoBtr. They like to end some words with "ee" added to the end. There are so many more people to meet on this forum. Some are called mods. They moderate the forum and referee the vulgar posts and ****. I can go on which is good. I just tried to read what I wrote but the rods and cones were morphing into one another. That happened recently. Oh yeah, it was when I read your post. Your post was about a bike you bought something like six years ago but you couldn't ride it because it took three years just to get a correct title. Then, you started having engine problems and the dealer you took it to held onto it on purpose without touching it just to irritate you. Dealers really suck because the mechanics spent twenty grand for MMI school and all they do is change oil and grips. I do know some some of you have actually read what I wrote but my dick would be two inches longER by the time you admit it. Still, your eyes just follow letters after letters, sentences after sentences hoping and wishing, wishing and hoping, there would be a space to rest the rods and cones of your retina. It's like a never empty box of Alpha Bits cereal. One you start pouring the cereal it never ends. I know you all remember "all good things must come to an end." Just like my post. It's 0150 in the morning. Wait, that's redundant. 0150 is the morning. It happens to be past my bedtime. I have to drive ninety miles into Austin, Texas tomorrow. No, that's today. It will only be like seventy degrees outside so driving may be hazardous. I say that just to irritate my friends to the north. That's fine, though. They can rub it in when it is over one hundred degrees here six months from now. Come to think of it. I haven't had Alpha Bits cereal in like fifty years. I'll bet they haven't added any new letters. That sucks because Lucky Charms cereal added a new marshmallow. Speaking of cereal I wish they would bring back Quake and Quisp cereals. For those that have read this, your eyes just follow letters after letters, sentences after sentences hoping and wishing, wishing and hoping, there would be a space to rest the rods and cones of your retina. If nothing more, I get another post to add to my count. I'll never be a ChickinOnaChain but getting close. At the rate I post I should equal his post count in twenty seven years and eight months. Lastly, do you think the OP will be a one post wonder? I'd start a poll but the dogs have to go out. That's all for now. Roger Wilco... Over and Out.

Oh, welcome to the forum. Ummm, did you have a question?

1) You own 8 bikes (nice!) so guessing you're a somewhat experienced rider, but you failed to check your oil on a bike that you stated has a known oil burning issue? And then you ride it to the middle of nowhere?
2) No one on God's green earth would buy a brand new Harley and park it in their garage for 4 years (2012-2016) and never start it. That's an emotional impossibility.

The same points could have been made tactfully, if they needed to be made at all. These are the kinds of opportunities we are presented with daily that afford us a chance to be better versions of ourselves than we were the previous day.

It leaves me one question. Am I the only one who read all of BoneDocs response? That had to be difficult to type...
