GW riders make me laugh sometimes.When I went to switch my DL from Alabama to Georgia, it was on a Saturday and they were running the riding test for folks. This dude pulls up to the start point on a gold wing that had probably every option on it avaliable. On the trunk, he had some lettering done with what I am guessing was his road name, "HITMAN" When he got off the monster to walk over to the examiner, I could get a better look at him. He was decked out head to toe in every piece of "I'm a badass" riding gear. Chaps, boots, vest, doo rag, fingerless gloves, you get the idea. I instantly started hoping that my number didn't get called because I really wanted to watch this go down. It didn't and I was almost in tears watching "hitman" wobble his way through the course. Even though I knew I didn't have to take the test since I was just tranferring my DL, I was really wishing there would be some mistake or something that would cause me to have to take the Road Glide through the course while this guy was still standing there.

Ok, so tell me, one day my wife and I came out of a Chinese restaurant and someone placed a fortune cookie under my helmet that was sitting on my seat.

Is this an older Harley thing? My Train hasn't leaked one oz. of anything since I bought it 4 years ago.

Yeah it was definitely an older bike issue that there were some leakers out there.
The signature photo with all the oil drips on the ground make your statement hilarious though.
