Short story, I was 8 years in the Mid-east working and by the end of 2013 i'm gonna buy my "came back to the states bike", always wanting a Rocket, but picked up a HD on Repo at an unbeatable price. Came home, rode the HD for 2 years but found my R3 here in SoCal with 1663 miles and I get it on the spot 2 weeks ago.
Next day, at the Rock Store, 4 ft from Jay Leno, the R3 is hit while parked by a HD trike. the ol feller riding it admitted he was wrong, gave me his card, said sorry.
I emailed days later asking for $60 for the bent clutch lever, while i ignored the scratches elsewhere. He replied my parked bike was in his way, it's my fault, no $60.
Now, this Vietnam Vet had every patch on his vest, true-blue patriot, very proud of his service (I was too, 8 years working on US bases in Iraq/AFG), but for the low cost of $60, I feel he threw away his honor (in my eyes) and told him so.
Had the bike 22 hrs before he dropped it, but it has it's scars now and I love every minute.
