Lets see if I can translate it for some of you non Hillbillies....

I have been reading some posts where somebody buys a part at a Harley dealer. Dealer is not sure what part is needed, so dealer gives him the wrong part. He uses the part anyway and then gets mad at the dealer and wants him to fix his bike. Or maybe he buys something online and installs it himself. It does not work either and wants his Harley dealer to fix it or replace it under warranty. When the dealer refuses, he gets mad at the dealer. I just don't understand.

Hilbily, is that close?

Guy makes a comment and gets 22 posts back on his punctuation. Yes, I agree that people need to take more responsibility for what they do to the bike. If you do not understand what you are working on, hire a pro. JMO.

Yep, that is so true but some folks just can't help but be what they are.

hilbily,

You're right, there are many who do not want to accept responsibility for their own failings or inabilities and go out of their way to blame others for their shortcomings.
