The first time I brought my bike in for service, the rep commented about the dents on top of my front fender. I replied, that's how I found out why they didn't make a fork bag for the Road King. He simply stated that I wasn't the first and probably wouldn't be the last.

Now I just figure it adds character to the bike. Garage queens shine like the day they left the shop. Bikes that get used get scratced, dented or worse.

That was going to be my question. I like to rely on prayer more but still have a gremlin bell. I was about to pass a truck with a trailer carrying all kinds of lawn equipment. Just as I was at the rear of the trailer passing I heard what sounded like an explosion and I about crapped my pants. I'm guessing a tire blew but a bunch of dirt and I don't know what else came flying in every direction. Sure got my heart racing for a while there...

I would say bite the bullet because I don't think you will ever be happy with that bike. I bought a 10 EGC and traded it in a year later for an 11 Limited. I didnt get hosed too bad. There in the business to sell bikes, you should be OK. Dont let them dry **** you though.

Ha! Me too! I was wondering why a couple of Jews were being blamed for bike troubles. Given the past 60 years I figured we could give them a break.
