18- if you shower more than once per month, your body oils are natural corrosion protection. 19- having short hair & shaving, long hair waves like a flag and is a safety flag while thundering down the road. 20 helmets will exceed the gvw and thats hard on parts.

It will void your warranty if you tow in an enclosed trailer.

Harley will waive this provision if you have a minimum of 4, 24X48 inch Harley stickers applied to said trailer.

21. You farted on your seat.
22. You did not properly torque the valve stem caps.
23. Your key fob is not from that stealership.

24. You've ever dried your bike using anything other than an HD approved Soft Drying Towel that is safe for use on all surface finishes.

25. You've ever checked your oil and wiped the dipstick with anything other than an HD approved paper towel.

28 You change your own oil
29 You use aftermarket parts other than HD
30 You use non HD oil
32 You buy parts from a dealer where you get a 20% discount
33 You told the dealer you are thinking about pulling a trailer

34. You buy any part from the stealership and you install it yourself..that includes stickers..

35. You are a member of your local HOG club and are not wearing the required amount of "flair" on your vest, which is 15 pieces...

36. You don't wear "Harley Approved" riding socks with your "approved" riding boots. There is a mandatory sock check pre-HOG ride-violaters are reported.

37. You do not have a H-D Mastercard/Visa.

38. You walk up to the parts counter and get new valve stem caps and say: "can I install these myself?" (OK a rehash of #34)
