My Baby Is Sick.

Well, I had to put my baby in the shop. Need's a new ignition switch, transmission seal's, and the fuel guage is screwed up. Glad I still have some warranty left on it. I sure don't want to fix all that myself. The switch and fuel guage I could do. Heck, I can do the tranny seal. But it sure is alot of work. O'well, only supposed to be about ten days. I guess I can make it.

Well, that sux. Is mobile harley doing the work?

Ouch man, I am sorry to hear that

Better to find out now than on a ride though

Yea. Mobile Bay H-D is doing the work. I bought it from them and it still has about a year warranty left on it. So I just let them fix it.

They must be slammed these days. Ten days is a pretty long time for that kind of stuff. Sorry to hear it.

The only reason it will take 10 day's is the ignition switch. It has to be ordered for the key to match. It takes 5-10 days for them to get it in.

Ahh, yeah I forgot...we had to order just new keys for the Night Train, it took nearly that long for that as well.

HOTWIRE!!!!

Hey Seibert,
Could you imagine if the ignition went out when we were in Gulf Shores? That's a long way to be pushing a scoot.

I had a dyna for a little while, not to bash the HD but best thing I did was sell it. always leaving me out, it didnt like rain either so I couldnt ride it back and forth from the plant while I was working. I dont know bad juju with that bike someones exwife must have cursed it during their divorce

Just don't tell my Dyna that......

I've had mine for a year and this is the first time it has been in the shop. I have had really good luck with mine. No problems with rain or anything else. Little thing's like a brake light switch, and the horn quite working. But that was simple fixes.

yours is also alot newer and in better condition, I'm sorry I cant throw down the cash yall do for the emblem, I bought second hand out of texas when I was on a shutdown out there

Mine is a 2004. Bought it last year. I can't afford a new on either. The wife has connection's and we got a good deal on it.

I'm gonna go with the curse philosophy.....


There's lemons in all makes nickestes, guess you got one. Don't matter to me what brand, ride what suits your needs and makes ya happy.

I will admit it..I like giving the HD riders hell But then I give the Sport bikes hell as well!

Ahh, no biggie. I think I have heard every ( good natured mostly ) Harley riders hell there is....

My favorite is still the "Magnetic Sprocket" philosophy......

I think I have heard it all. No matter what I have owned in the past, I have heard it. I still do it at work. If you drive a chevy, then thats the problem. If you own a ford, then you should have bought a chevy. It's all fun and game's till someone cries. Then it's just fun.
Is it me or does the elephant look like a certain part of the male anatomy?

I have had quite a few bikes my 81 ironhead sportster got the most looks or it could have been that it lit my pants on fire and they were lookin at that.

My friend sold his Harley..put 3 people out of work...his mechanic the guy driving the truck following him and the guy picking up the parts to throw in the truck for the mechanic when he got there

Sorry about your bike. As far as brands I have a ford, Chevy & a Dodge and their all excellent rides. Bikes I am to cheap to buy a harley but I did have one my first bike a Harley Topper two stroke I was 12 ! 100.00 bucks.( It was a dumb & dumber hog)

brands don't really matter a buddy of mine has a new heritage springer and it does really well.

I really (hd rules) dont have a (hd rules) preference. I have (hd rules) owned quite a few (hd rules) different bikes (hd rules) in my time. I do (hd rules) enjoy my Harley (hd rules) because I have (hd rules) worked my azz (hd rules) off to afford something (hd rules) that I have wanted (hd rules) for many years. Will I buy (hd rules) another? Cant answer (hd rules) that till the time comes.

Did I mention HD Rules?

two points, all bashing aside the hd's I see here all look great, and it sounds like yall ride em alot. thats usually my main beef with most hd owners, they dont want to ride because they spent mon-fri polishing the thing, and heaven for bid it be cloudy. I like you guys I was bragging about the place all week, about the trips I have seen some of yall make. I cant wait to meet you guys and let us throw down some miles

Amen.

I hate even talking about the Harley vs every other make of motorcycle. Ride whatever makes you happy. I have 2 Harleys in the shed and my wife and I love to ride them. I think I enjoy wrenching on them and changing them up almost as much. Heck, our wedding and honeymoon even revolved around the bikes.
