We finally had a nice weekend day, so I figured I better get my motorcycle service done so it's ready for the spring. This was the first time I changed all of the fluids without a jack. My current jack won't work with this bike.
Now she's all ready to go for another 4,000 miles!

After I finished, I figured I might as well enjoy one of these..

What do you mean fluid change? I thought with HDs all you had to do was keep topping it off?
:-):-)
Nice and clean bike there brother, looking good!

Harley just can't get rid of the leaking oil rep when AMF owned them.
:-) This is actually my 4th Harley with a combined 70k miles and none of them have leaked. They are actually very reliable now.
They will steal you blind on service though. I bought this one right before winter and this was my 1k mile service and I had to change engine, primary, and tranny oil. Dealership charged $350+ for this. I spent $70 on parts and it took me 1 1/2 hours.

Thanks for the compliments! I wasn't trying to show off the bike, just the fact that I got off my ass today and got something done.
DC,
What do you ride? I forgot to ask you. I know you've mentioned that it is your primary transportation.

Honda VTX and that's my son Drake sitting on there. The windshield is gone now I got a fairing for it. I'm not the bagger type but I travel long distance quite a bit and a fairing beats a windshield hands down!

With these gas prices in NY, currently 4.15/ gal I can't wait till warm weather to ride.

I've heard the VTX is a great bike DC. My last bike was a bagger (Street Glide), but it wasn't in the budget anymore with getting married, buying a house, and now having a baby all within a year. I really miss that bike.

Very nice. I'd like to get back into either another Street Glide or an Ultra Limited one day.
