Not worried about me or my ride. I can pretty much quarantee riders will show up low on oil, running way old oil, and a host of other bike problems they have ignored. They will show up without so much as a screw driver and small set of vice-grips, let alone a few wrenchs and a foot long coil of electircal wire and some tape. They will leave the house with a slight engine miss that has been showing up for over a week without a spare set of plugs and a plug wrench. When someone gives them some plugs and loans them a wrench they will cause major damage because they didn't wait for their engine to cool down and stripped the threads. It happpens on friggin Poker Runs and charity runs. You wouldn't believe how many rookies and newbies are out there riding Harley's. Even folks who have been riding for a few years can be idiots.
Pretty unlikely. The majority of us who have invested $30K or more in our Harley Davidson's take meticulous care of them. Most people I know have 20-30 years riding experience (I began in 1983). All maintenance done on schedule. Tire-pressures, fuel/oil levels, rear end, brakes, drive belt, lights, all checked prior-to departure. In case of inclement weather - rain gear - head to toe. In case of cold weather (highly unlikely) - heated gear plugged into the pigtail. GPS - won't get lost. XM radio - will be entertained. In the
unlikely event of any type of mechanical failure - I will simply grab the cell phone and call HOG roadside assist or AAA.
No worries.
That's how most of us roll. Not sure what kind of piece of shit you're running nor what type of roadside assist you have (if any).
