So riding em makes em leak?

No, cantankerous, non conformist oil getting out makes'em leak.

 

[chuck hahn]

Cover gaskets dont usually leak but orings and other gaskets that have shafts for the shifters and drive shaft components do wear out from use. So i guess the short answer is Yes, driving them does make them leak ....eventually.

My 750 leaks like crazy, so I hope the guy got diesel oil all over his precious HD pants!

I say get over it and move on. I had ridden my bike to my son's school once and parked in the lot and went in for some program that was going on. Afterwards, I came out and found the bike right where I left it, nice and tidy. I started getting my gear on when this lady across the street starts coming over towards me. She came over and told me that somebody had bumped into my bike with their pickup truck as they were leaving, actually lifting the bike up a bit (it was on the center stand), moving it a couple inches to the side, setting it back down. She said he never stopped and got out to see if he damaged it. He just left. I was furious! Of course, I checked the thing all over, but found absolutely no damage anywhere. Lucky I guess. I thanked the lady for letting me know. She just shook her head and said, "Some people are just idiots". So, after cooling off for a couple minutes, I got on and went home. Of course, I had no idea who did it, so there was no way to pursue it. But the moral of the story, is to just let it go and move on. I also learned a valuable lessen that you never park out in the middle of a parking lot where things can happen.

And the "I AM SO SPECIAL" guy on the Harley had no business even being parked on the sidewalk now did he! Hes the one thats all in the wrong here and he had no business what so ever touhing anyone elses bike. Had it been his bike being moved he would have exploded right on the spot but he somehow elevated himself to the self rightous level of being allowed to do it to someone esle.. Just the hypocritcal mindset that makes him desrve his head caved in with a padlock on a bandana.

Same situation here, this guy has no idea who really moved his bike. No one saw it happen. He's assuming it was the HD guy because he "sort of" blocked him in. Parking on the sidewalk may have been perfectly fine with the shop owner, and that's all that really matters. Get over it.

That's EXACTLY how I perceived it!
I've been to this shop a million times, people aren't allowed to park where he did. If I see him there again I'm going to block him with my car!

I'm waaaayyyy past this incident now, I don't even care about it.
I just wanted to explain my little story and read similar stories.

Apparently you aren't waaaayyyy past this incident now, and do still care about it.

Not really..I dont look for chit and i dont run from it when it comes around Todd. I was raised with common sense and respect for a persons stuff. And yes i have gotten into many a mans face for being a total tool. One particular crotch rocket guy found out that i dont speak lightly if i gotta say something. He was literally inches away from my Shadow and i couldnt even lift the bike upright off the side stand so i asked the crowd around whose it was. He answered up in a condecending tone so i went up to him and told him he had 3 seconds to move the bike or i was dragging it out of the way so i could leave. He didnt believe me and his **** was on the street. Yeah we threw down so what. You wanna be a tool then youll pay the price. Those that really know me..not just on "supposition" like you try to..know i am very easy going and will bend over backwards at the drop of a hat for anyone. Heck I give away more stuff on here than i sell. My motto is act like a man and i will treat you accordingly. Act like a tool and i will smack you with one.

You're right. Life is indeed too short.

Whoooosh....

 

[elrico]

I "try" to avoid that I do not end up in "legal complications" and/or worse,thats what I do/would do.

 

[FLHGSRay]

Ain't no motorcycle worth hurting someone over. Even a "tool". Besides, a guy just might get his a$$ handed to him by that same tool.

Lol I seriously don't care about the guy.
But if he happens to be there again...I'm going to have a little fun with the situation.
