I think you posted this on the harley site too. If not, it's very similar to someone else's post today. Anyway for routine oil changes, a Harley is a very easy thing to do. You don't even have to climb underneath it. LOL That's part of the enjoyment of owning a harley. Everything is in the open. All I can say is wait until you have to have some work done on the Porsche. For example: wait until you need to replace your tires. heh heh heh

I enjoy fast cars. But nothing, gives me the rush that a bike does. You can build a complete bike from the ground up for say $16K or a real top shelf custom for $30K. If you do it yourself. try building a Porsche from the ground up.

My experience is that my Harley is significantly less costly to play with than my Porsche. Look at performance upgrades and their is no comparison. Give it time. You have a ways to go.
