Default Who else rides their bagger nekkid?

Without the bags on, that is.....

When I am forced to take my bike in, like tomorrow to have the rear wheel changed I usually pull the bags and leave them safely in my garage where they can't get scratched.

Anyone else do this?

Please spare me the "I do all my own wrenchin'" speech guys.

For a measly $35 bucks my indy will pull the wheel, change the rubber and re-install, all in the time it takes me to walk down the block for lunch.

I've been doing my own fluid changes but this price vs. the labor to do it myself is more than worth it for me.

My dealer will swap a tire for a buck providing I buy the tire from him.....and turns out his tire prices are competitive......He would charge me MSRP tho if I drove up naked

Dang, one of the local dealers (that I don't use anymore) quoted me $175/hour for new rubber. Don't blame you for having it done. I used to ride nekkid, as you put it, but I was getting a lot of wierd looks from the church people I drove by. And them damned bugs hurt like hell when your nekkid... Just saying.

What a relief this was a tire post! I need to find a good Indy like that. That's a great price to swap out the rubber.

For that price..... why in the world would you do it yourself?

Sounds like a good indy to me.
