Sorry to hear about your problem. I know it is frustrating enough but doubly so with a new bike. That being said and as a few others have mentioned I have a roadside assistance attachment on my insurance policy (Progressive). It's only about $10 a year more. I also have HOG membership (but I may let it expire in July). See if your carrier offers it.

Just a quick one on AAA; you might find it of interest that the AAA Foundation supports helmet laws... http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafet...e/support.html

I personally do not rely on HOG Roadside Assistance with my membership. Only the other BS things they provide, which is not much. I use AAA which covers anything I own that is legally licensed for the road. Tow truck will take my bike anyway up to 50 miles.

After I finally got to the dealer, they told me I had E-85 in the tank instead of Premium fuel. I would not knowingly put in Ethanol but maybe I did by mistake.
Cost me $100 for the HD dealer to drain the tank and add the right gas. I guess I'd better pay closer attention to which button I push on the pump. I have been putting gas in my bikes for over 40 years.
Has anyone else had their bike shut down after using E-85 gas???

So...oil pressure was OK (those numbers are pretty norm) and problem was fuel-related...??
