Thanks - the membership thing sounds like a good idea - just saved the link.
Lee - the dealer is BMW Motorcycle of Greater Cincinnati and it's in Middletown - about an hour north of downtown Cincy and maybe 40 minutes SW of Dayton - 25 minutes from my house.
I actually have a total of probably 60K miles on Harleys - No real issues.
The first - a '97 Dyna, had a leak at a seal which was easy to fix. I then had another Dyna and a Fatboy - combined 20K miles between them and no issues between them. The most recent, a '13 Electraglide, had no issues with the original motorcycle. 15K into my ownership I purchased 110" upgrade kit which had serious oil burning issues to which the H-D engrs, when service got them on phone, responded with a "yeah, we know about that" tone and they fixed it straightaway - it was a new release and someone in product development didn't do something right. No issues for the next 21K miles and sold it a couple of weeks ago. So reliability never was an issue. Just got tired of the weight more than anything else.
