Default not a happy camper
Well here goes, am a little pissed off. 05 Ultra with 19500 miles starts going thru 2 qts of oil in 2000 miles.... now the pressure is gone and running super hot. Dealer says 6-8 weeks for a fix to heavy work load with 08's. Dealer offers me 07 left over for a very nice discount. I am livid and at a lost for words. My leaverage is gone so I settle for a Black Pearl 07.. I hope the bugs a re gone and I;ll be able to ride this weekend
I had to blow off a little steam
thanks

Did your bike have the valve seal recall?

I don't get it, is the 07 a loaner or did he talk you into buying it?

Congrats! Although not what you intended on, I think you will be happier with the 07.

very happy with my new ride, I can only hope that the lucky guy or gal who gets my 05 on auction or sale knows that the stuff on it is worth a few extra bucks
