Took the bike in yesterday at opening time.
They jumped right on it.
The conclusion is that I must have got some bad gas somewhere, I did fill up at the other station in town the other week, theres only 2 stations here and neither is a big chain station, but the one did replace their tanks last year.
Any how, I had refilled the bike this past weekend and rode and it started running better, actually by tuesday morning it was like brand new.
Any how, I have another year of factory warrenty and then a year of extended so im in good shape there.
They tightend up my rear shocks for me and checked the balance out on the rear tire, it must have been off because it rode very smooth headed back home, and the good part is they didnt charge me a dime!

I came home from work yesterday and was gonna pull the heritage out of the barn and put my screamin eagles on.
Just as soon as I walk outside it starts pouring rain, just got home 20 minutes earlier and bright sunshine.
So I went into the barn, turned the fan on and started waxing the bike, when I was done with that I put the screamin eagles on, then the saddlebags.

Today I came home from work itching to ride and the sky opens up again!
Maybe ill get to ride it sometime soon.
