    Thanks Jordy. Jesus nut, classic. But I think about that shit when I ride. At 80 (or whatever) on the freeway something goes bad and bad things will happen. The engine isn't that big a deal, it dies it dies. But something lets loose and it could be bad. I had a belt go on my Softail years ago. For 3 seconds I was all over the street. Belt ripped the side mounted tail light off and it hit me in the back. Two people pulled over and asked if I was ok. Scared the shit out of me. Eight months might not seem like a long time. But it hasn't been out of the garage in that time. Hasn't been rolled or started. Hasn't been touched.

    The engine dying isn't a big deal unless you're going down the road and it does it suddenly and you end up in bad shape before you can pull the clutch in and you grease your back tire and start sliding around before you can react. If it was me I'd spend the money and have it all gone though.

    Have you tried Viagra? I'm assuming we aren't actually talking about your "Harley".

    Are you suggesting it's some short of euphemism?

    I was totally kiding about trying to run it, could be a total disaster if you do that...

    U had better buck up and pay the man or your bike will never be the same... Throwing a new carb on like my old putts is one thing, but a new FI bike is a different story COMPLETELY...

    I hope nobody took me serious on my post to try and fire it... :(

    Who's the 4 eyed dork leaning on someone's bike while holding him? Bikers will hit someone with glasses and a baby for that kind of behavior.
