Default Funny things that will void warranty...

This is just for fun! I know it is pretty ambiguous regarding what will and what won't void your H-D factory warranty, so I decided to start a list of the things that MAY void your warranty..strictly from the humorous side of things. Feel free to add any that you can come up with.

Warranty will be void if:

1. You do not use factory authorized air in your tires
2. You get caught NOT wearing a doo rag, or the doo rag is a non-H-D rag.
3. You do not go to every HOG event and get a pin and/or patch
4. You do not sew the LARGE HOG patch on your vest/jacket
5. You do not spend at least "hunert dollars" when you visit the dealership-they will know.
6. You call customer service and complain about anything..or just call them at all for ANY reason.
7. If you have a CD player, you play non-factory authorized music.
8. You ride your bike anywhere anytime-it is supposed to stay in the garage at all times.
9. You see a kitten and don't crush it with your bare hands

anymore...?

10. If you ask if the repair is covered by warranty.
11. If you rode in the rain.

17. If you take that warning sticker off the air cleaner you will for sure void your warranty.

That's just wrong, warranty or no warranty. Besides, you should never drink that much when you're riding!
