That's it exactly. It takes me at least an hour to do all three holes. They're gonna check your primary chain tension while they are changing the primary oil. Plus, you figure the price of oil times 4 or 5 quarts and there ya go. Hell, it's gotta be close to the same thing on your damn wing. It taks at least an hour to pull off all the plastic covers off that Mr. Potato Head bike just to get to the oil.

How ya been man. I've been reading about your travels.
