Riding style and gearbnox problems

Maybe by the time the parts supply dries up we'll all have home 3D printers so we can make our own gears

I hope you were able to land on your feet after Harley shut down. Did you feel the writing on the wall or was it a surprise?

Took a couple tries, but did land another job with good pay and benefits. Maintenance mechanic with a pet food producer. Not quite the same pride in my work as building motorcycles, but know I'm lucky to have a job. It did come as a surprise, we took a lot of concessions on our last contract. Let them outsource a lot of work to keep the factory there. Had just launched the new combined Dyna/softail model. But the place had changed a lot over the years, wasn't the same feeling towards the end as when I started. Lot of new management that wasn't interested in motorcycles, just dollars.

Parts have not been a problem. Hermy's is great. If you keep your order down to reasonable and manageable orders they respond rather quickly.

Hopefully if the parts do dry up i will be too old to care anymore. The years are flying by now!

Yer not kidding about that. Time seems like a big spool of wire, the closer to the end you get, the faster it goes

I know, I remember being a newbie here, it's been over 10 years now.

I don't like all this talk about getting old. I can't be TOO old if I'm learning to ride my grandson's hoverboard!

Okay so since Thedogsbollock has spoken folks i guess we can all sleep better knowing that it is all are imagination and no problem exist with the transmissions. For your info i plan on making over 100,000 on one bike not three.

Yawn...I’m simply getting bored of your making the same point over and over with the implication it’s a dead certainty this will happen.
We get it...you had a problem.

This is true!
