Don't ever compare your Harley to a Gold Wing
Don't ever compare you Harley's power to a metric
Don't ever ask how to check the air in the tires
Don't ever ask what oil to use
Don't ever ask what cam to use
Don't ever ask what exhaust to use
Don't ever ask what windshield to use
Don't ever compare any bike to an Ultra (unless you have one, then you are already an expert)

Stay away from all these and nobody will know you aren't an expert already.

Ok, the forum has been a little dull lately, any brave souls want to post all of these questions one after the other? Maybe if you tell them you are new you won't get flamed too bad!

There are some guys on this forum with 4715 posts and still only pretend to know what they are talking about. So who knows?

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's how one of the tech's at my local dealer became an expert!
No kidding, I wondered how they did that.

Seems like I've gotten better advice from people under 100 posts than those with 5000 posts. Don't let the number keep you from posting good info.
