What does your Grammer have to do with your predicament?

She's probably too old to ride.

Not uncommon to be closed Sunday, and Monday around here. It seems anytime I need something, I find myself sitting in the empty parking lot on Monday morning because I keep forgetting they're closed.

I bought a second exact duplicate of my bike, and tore it down to the smallest part. All the parts are bagged, labeled, inventoried, and stored in my hermetically sealed parts garage. If I ever need a part, and my dealer doesn’t have it in inventory I’m covered.

I'm a chrome *****. I have ordered all non-chrome parts for my bike in chrome. Way behind installing so I have backups for almost everything.

My dealer is closed Mondays, but open 6 days (no service on Sundays but parts department open). For some reason, I think they were even open on the 4th though I didn't stop in.

What I hate is they have half the cylinders of a Japanese bike, why aren't they half the price?
