You need to work for John Deere if you want to spread that manure around here.
Yeah you're right. I just don't have a clue about HD's. Seems I wasted a year of my time and over $12,000.00 going to MMI. You seem to know so much more. What class did you teach there? I mean, I only spent about 5 years working on them. MMI usually only hires instructors with 5 years shop experience, and hey, they called me at the dealership I was working at and offered me a instructors job. Let's see, they taught, Early Model('36 to '65), Ironhead and Shovelhead('66 to '83 or '84) depending on model, and 2 late model classes. So that was 4 class programs 3 times a day. Around 20-25 students per class, so that makes 240-300 students at a time graduating. I was 2nd in my class, the guy that was first had already had custom bikes published in motorcycle magazines. He attended to have the "Paper work" to show. So yes, you must be right, you know so much more about them than I do.
I used to love customers like you! I kept a quote laminated on my tool box from Adlai Stevenson, "There is nothing more horrifying then stupidity in action". You would have been one of the customers I would have read it. One of the customers that would want drag pipes, S&S carbs, braided brake lines that weren't DOT approved. You know, the guy that would come in and tell the wrench "my buddy said I need to get this or that, he knows what he's talking about! He works on his bike all the time!" That's when I would have them read the quote! YOU would have been reading it often!
