If that was the way a service manage put it, I would one talk with the owner. Two find a new dealer. First thing any service manger should do is address your concerns, and take seriously any questions you have.
Your front end will not get soft with time, Firewoman your bike is still new by most standards. I would be concerned if it had blown a seal and you could see oil I would not be worried but for it to go soft with no oil leaking.

 

I am with smitty on this Firewoman.

Ok, sitting poised and ready to ride to Dayton to make the handoff......a huge storm system appears to be running right through the area. Getting pretty dark over my way already, but I guess feeddunk is riding over through part of it too.

Could get ugly, so keep us in mind folks.

 

Take care & ride safe, Mike!

 

Hey!
Made the ride to Buckeye Harley Davidson and met feeddunk. Nice young man. I rode some intense rain, and for the first time, it got in my saddlebags....lol....dunk said he rode through some storms too. I think they're remnants of the tropical storm down around Florida. Hard to believe effects can be felt so far away. We had a coffee and talked....dunk had his sweatshirt in the dryer inside the dealer..lol..but the handoff went off without any problems.
I'm on the left and dunk is on the right...



My ride home wasn't as wet, but I came home I 70 east to US 56 down to Circleville, and coming across I 70 I hit some good strong crosswinds. Made for a good ride. Funny thing, I got home, it was hot and near 80 (temps up around Dayton was in the low 70's) and my wife said it never rained. Go figure...lol

Now I await someone who wants to take the mascot on the next leg.......thanks everyone!

 

Good job guys!
Mike, I was wondering if the Mascot is still in the red pouch that was made last year?

 

Good to see it moving again as it should

 

Nice work you guys, braving storms to move the mascot is very admirable.

Yes it's still in the red pouch.

Glad your ride back was less wet. :-) Mine however was more intense rain than the way there. I survived. I get back to Indianapolis and it's bone dry. Lovely.
Thanks to Mike for braving that storm and keeping this Mascot moving.

 

dunk I think you are the one deserving a big thanks.....it looked like the weather to the west as I was getting on I-70 was going to be pretty grim. Glad to hear you made it home safely!
