it's not his fault Harley's are crap bikes and require to be used all the time or they will dryrot or something.
Anyone I've ever known with a Harley is always "working" on it. It never just works. They always have to do something to it before it'll start.
me "hey lets go get a movie"
friend "cool, lets take the hog. I'll get the toolbox..."
me "naw, I'd like to get to the movie store before The Matrix 5 comes out"
