The Future of this Blog

Friday, April 30th, 2010

When looking back at the two years I have owned my first Harley, I realize I haven’t updated this blog hardly at all. Work, live, all of it gets in the way, really. Taking the trips, rides and all is great, but rarely I had a decent camera with to capture anything, and rarely after getting back have I had time to post about it.

With that being said – I may re-focus this blog, especially since I purchased a decent dSLR camera to capture some items with. Additionally, I may just re-purpose this blog, going someplace completely different with it, the domain or something.

Honestly, I have not decided yet what I want to do.

Keep the shiny side up!

Exhaust Sound Modification

Sunday, June 1st, 2008

The day after we did the service, the day I was heading back home from my folk’s house, my brother decided that the Sporty should sound like a Harley.

First Service

Friday, May 30th, 2008

While I was at my folk’s house over Memorial Day weekend, my brother and I performed the first service on the bike. I know many disagree with this, stating that the dealership should perform it to ensure that the warranty is not voided.  However, it is my understanding that unless you blatantly do something wrong that causes a malfunction, they cannot void the warranty just for choosing to do your own service, even the first one.

With that in mind, before I left I picked up 3 quarts of HD 20W50 oil, 1 quart HD Transmission/Primary fluid and a black oil filter.
