Just bought a new Super Glide Custom. My first new Harley. When do u stop fussy and fretting ? Every little scratch and swirl mark freaks me out. I was never like this with my pre-owned Harley's.

 

It took me awhile. I was the same way. Now, at 138,000 miles I am just happy it is still running, lol!

 

Its called character. You will get used to it. Grab a wrench and wack the tank. There got it out of your system!

 

Never.

 

You never really get over it, you just learn to live with it.

 

I have never fussed over a motorcycle or automobile. Ride it, maintain it, wash it every once in a while.

 

Every new car, truck, or bike, I've ever owned was such that the harder I tried to keep it showroom new, the more bad things would happen to it. So with this bike, I just ride it and only clean it once in a while. It still looks pretty nice!!!

 

Just remember to take plenty of pictures of her because this is the best she will ever look. Rings true for woman also!

 

Never worried about it, it's a bike and is supposed to be ridden. Mine has aged like a crack ***** hooker, plenty of age marks but it runs like a champ.

 

I usually never quit but after a ride to the Arctic Circle with about 1000 miles on gravel or in mud I pretty much am just thankful that it still looks good (with a few dings) and runs like a champ. Nothing like mileage to make you realize it is a motorcycle and not a beauty queen.
