Think about what Uncle Sam charges us just to work a 40... 35% +.
Then depending on your state you pay an additional 6% to spend it.
WTF... that's 41% why am I working... for Obama.... my state
I'm a retired Vet and after giving all those years this is all they have to offer..... You think they would give a Retired Vet and free house, bike or something like the imigrants and welfare cases...
Sorry... had to get that off my chest... yea, I feel better, but still bitter.

Your paying way to much in taxes, at 40% percent. Wife and I made over 150K last year and I paid less then 10% in federal tax. You need a new accountant to help you set up your money.
Paid 60 bucks will be here Friday. Dealer cost is 35.00 bucks. I know this because I was looking at the book with the prices the parts guy was using to find the FSM serial number.
Most of the service manuals cost the dealer 25-35 bucks and they sell for 60
Just a heads up observation
Try pricing a college text book, or any professional reference. $60 is a bargain.
I bought the service manual and the parts manual for mine back when I bought the bike (no electrical manual back then). I made money on the deal the first time I used it to do a 5,000 mile service. I figure it's saved me well over $5,000 over the last 20 years.

If you want to complain, join a jewelry or furniture forum where instead of making a whopping 25-28% they often make 300+%
