Good list!
Changed my plugs at 78K after a hydrolock. Don't know how many miles on them before, bought bike with 57K. 108K now. cooldude
Oil at 4K. Save the lecture, I gots enough $$ to cover it.  crazy2
Got a billion mile K&N in there. Never gotta change it!  Grin
Change gear lube at every tire change. Since I run motorcycle tars that's every 2K or so.  Roll Eyes
$21.36 for a gallon of 5W40 Rotella full syn at the local Wally. I'm right in line there! cooldude
Always 87 octane. I aint got no Hardy Babison you know. Cool
You have to replace the clutch/brake fluid??  Embarrassed Embarrassed
I over inflate my tars using Dragon breath, not nitrogen!!
I get my oil at the Wally... not my damn oil filters! Gotta buy SOMETHING from HDL you know.  Angry
Nitrogen is the DEVIL!!!
It's nobody's business what I do with my Yuasa.  Shocked Roll Eyes

You pay huge money for shiny parts that add nothing to the ridability.

But, that's just an opinion.  And since I am a Libertarian, and MEAN it, I do not begrudge ya'll your bling.

I don't use alligator clips.

I use clothes pins.

Alligator clips are pretty rough on the nose.

Appendage, nice word for Penis.

Stanley was being tactful.
