Default What is wrong with my SGS?

Just went to Ohio Bike Week and did my pre-trip check. I had 5,000 miles on the oil and didn't have time to do the oil change until I got back. I checked my oil level and it was dead nuts center on the stick where it should be.

These things are supposed to be oil-leaking rattletrap pieces of crap and here I have one that doesn't burn oil!

I love this bike!!

p.s. had a great time at Ohio Bike Week, even though I had to go through Ohio to get there...

Well they thought about not letting you in, next time they'll know better.

All-in-all the weather was great, loads of fun and we met others with Rushmores that have the same problems as we discuss here and one guy that has absolutely no problems with his infotainment system.

I don't even check my oil. I run this thing just like my Chevy: Change it when it's supposed to be changed, and don't think about it in between. F*&% it!!!!

Hey Baldguy13 - I see you are not too far from me (Lake Orion, MI). I understand what you are saying about Ohio- but man, do I wish I had their roads.

Taking off down 75 - when you cross the line - the roads just smooth out. Wish I knew why.

I know why. I'll let you in on a secret....







Michigan.

Roads.

Suck.




Born and raised there.

I've got an idea... let's get some more libs in office, and drive out some more "big business" and see how that helps.

Sorry... I was there through 2008. Watched them destroy the evil corporations, and watched a lot of good, hard working people lose their jobs because of it.
