Idiot Sticker for this Weekend
Saturday was a nice rainy day, so I took the time to put on some parts I've had sitting on the shelf. I changed out my derby and timer covers, put on a luggage rack and some other miscellaneous items.
Idiot Move #1:
I took her out Sunday to breakfast, and noticed that I had fluid leaking from my primary. Obviously this was due to my lack of tightening of the derby cover. I was two blocks away from my Harley dealer. I took it in and they laughed with me, and took care of me in a few minutes and had me back on the way.
Idiot Move #2:
After leaving the dealer, we stopped for gas. My wife pulled up to the pump, and proceeded to fill up.......with Diesel. I don't know how she did. I proceeded to call the dealer, and they came within 5 minutes and towed her bike back to the service department.
2 bikes into service for non-routine maintenance in one day. All I can say is that I need to invest in a torque wrench, and my wife will probably never fill up with Diesel again.
For this I nominate us for the Idiot Sticker of the week.
Thanks to Seminole Harley-Davidson for being considerate, and helpful in dealing with these idiot moves.
Figured this would be a good laugh for some of you.

That stuff happens to us all one time or another. \\; Years ago I had a Honda 305 'beater' that I rode to a very small town in central Nevada. \\; I filled up. \\; The station attendent asked me which pump I used so he could charge me at the register. \\; I had filled with Kerosene! \\; I had never seen a Kerosene pump at the pump island in my life. \\; We took the bike over to the edge of the asphalt, turned it upside down and drained the tank. \\; After starting up again with gas it smoked just a little and then cleared right up. \\; I had to pay for the gas and the kerosene. In those days it was probably less than $4 for both. \\; ...... \\; BC
