Default Break in service- 662 miles....

So I sit here in the palacial Pig Trail H-D dealership watching a filter and 3 qts 20/50 Syn get droppedin the 1125R. Has been a great 23 days of ownership with no issues and suprisingly great performance. I have gandered the retail marketing paradise that is H-D merchandise and found little to turn my screws. Fine leather but little armor and no style. There is a poor little Buell section but little cool there

Yea I'm surprisd that Eric hasn't gotten a line going. Heck, all he'd really have to do is sell the license to someone like Icon, Joe Rocket, etc... unless no one is buying that is...

No co-branded but their helmets are made by KBC. Their styling department needs to catch up. The quality is good but for retail I can get cooler stuff...Looks like my ECM got the first map reflash but not the 2nd, they are going to download the juice into the ' puter and order the parts to reroute my front brake line, it was a minor recall issue. Then I am ggod to go....
