Default The Ultimate Question

Subject: FW: The Ultimate Question

Dear Abby,

I've never written to you before, but I really need your advice on what
could be a crucial decision. I've suspected for some time now that my
wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs... Phone rings but if I
answer, the caller hangs up.My wife has been going out with the girls a
lot recently although when I ask their names she always says, "Just some
friends from work, you don't know them."

I always stay awake to look out for her taxi coming home, but she always
walks down the drive, although I can hear a car setting off, as if she
has gotten out of the car round the corner. Why? Maybe she wasn't in a
taxi? I once picked her cell phone up just to see what time it was and
she went berserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again
and why was I checking up
on her.

Anyway, I have never broached the subject with my wife. I think deep
down I just didn't want to know the truth, but last night she went out
again and I decided to really check on her. I decided I was going to
park my Harley Davidson Lowrider next to the garage and then hide behind
it so I could get a good view of the whole street when she comes home.
It was at that moment, crouching behind my Harley, that I noticed that
the rocker boxes on my engine seem to be leaking a little oil. Is this
something I can fix myself or should I take it back to the dealer?

Thanks,
Harley Man

Yes you can do this yourself.The tank will either have to come off or at least unbolted and lifted for good access.These seals really dry up,kinda like autumn leaves and leak,weep.Some causes are from warped rocker bok spacers.Gasket sets arent that expensive and a few hrs and basic tools you will be done.
