Default Got a new battery.

So I go the the local dealership to replace the auto store battery in my Street Glide. Note, do not buy auto parts store batteries, Junk. I did not want to fight the Chicago traffic to get to a dealer, so you gets what ya pay for.

Anyhow when I left the dealership, there was a 2011 leftover Cherry Red Sunglo/Merlo Sungo Limited attached to it. Wife asked when I arrived home, if I got the battery. I said, Yep sure did. The fun starts tomorrow...

Mine was "I'm just looking". Traded the RK for the SG and she reminds me every chance she gets that she misses the RK and hates the SG. What dealer? Maybe I can go look again, just sayin. I forgot to mention that she was with me when I was looking.

Remember,it's easier to ask forgiveness,than permission.
