I guess the old bike is treating me like a red headed step child.  Got a call from the sales manager almost a month after the trade and asked what kind of engine work had been done.  I assumed they had a buyer or sold it.  I told him I had done:

SERT, S&S adjustable pushrods, Feuling oil pump and lifters, 575 cams, S&d geardrive.

He said they started it up and was knocking and hammering and wouldn't take gas.  I rode 95 miles to trade it in.  There was nothing wrong with the bike.

I told him I was dumb founded of what he had said and he was nice and in no way talked down to me.

Called yesterday about my fairing that was on order and spoke with the service manager and said they rode it about 20 miles and all was good.  Possibly had a lifter leak down.

He said he told the sales manager that there couldn't be much wrong for a bike that looked that nice.

Twolane always said that those red bikes were moody.

Hey Bob,
Just catching up on how our favorite "stepchild"is doing. Bet your heart dropped when the dealer threw that line at ya! Well I do not see anything from how you liked the ride home with the new girl, so I'll take it your still waiting. 
I guess Duane & Brian are not letting you off the abandonment hook yet?   Ah... they'll get tired of it when you report how much you like the new ride, but REALLY MISS THE OLE GIRL! 

Well, to you and all of those who I've had the good fortune to get to know, here and on the road,.......   HAPPY HOLIDAYS, SAFE & PROSPEROUS TO YOU ALL!!
