Also the HD brand oil and the Advance Auto-parts oils comes out of the same truck, you just pay $2 more for the bottle.

It has been 12 years seen I rode (a Honda), but I bought my 1st H/D a 2007 Strret Bob on 1/13/2007. Within less than a month and fewer than 500 miles on my new bike I have found the H/D Money Pit:
Leather jacket $ 425
Helmet w/shield 169
Boots 85
Glasses 22
Chrome stuff203
Service manual 58
Motor cycle jack 150
Frame extensions 22
Motor oil 4+
Insurance218
and premium gas
I thought owning a ski boat was a money pit. I'm NOT complaning, I just neede time away fro the "Big" H/D wish book, everytime I look at it I see something I want.
I was getting the jacket, I don't care what the price tag was. I had to have it, (it does make me look thinner). I may have to re-think the motor oil for $ 4.50 a quart, but it does have "Genuine Harley-Davidson Oil" on the bottle.
My bet is that for those of you who have been this "Harley World" longerthan me (20 days), your money pit is deeper than mine.
See Ya' on the road, I'll be that thin looking, older guy with a simle on his face (I love that jacket).
PS: I found this web site a few days ago and have gotten some good advice, thanks. For the most part it looks as if members here are open and helpful.

You anna try living on this side of the pond(UK) HD stuff if generally twice the price - like $950 for a detachable sissy bar set up. Thats a lot of nights in a hotel rather than carrying a tent.
