Big Joke on Me!!!!!!
Image by DanieVDM
5 May 08 – After I returned from the HOG Route 62 Rally and washed my bike down (with a high pressure water cleaner), I noticed this hairline crack on the front fork. I felt it and could feel my nail catching in the crack. I frantically called Harley-Davidson Cape Town dealership with this amazing tale…. they said the bike was still within warranty so they would replace the the fork free of charge. They did say this is the first time anything like this had happened. This was back in February… I was getting anxious by March as the riding weather was passing and I really wanted to ride again. Seemed that the crate that was bringing my spare part into to SA had gone astray between Belgium and SA… so Harley Cape Town kindly invoked a premium courier service to get a replacement part here within a week. My bike was scheduled to go in tomorrow and Harley even arranged to give me a loan bike as I was having trouble scheduling time to leave the bike there for the four hour repair job. Something bugged me as I rolled the bike out of the garage tonight to be ready for tomorrow… crack was still there and I could feel the "ridge"…. I scratched harder and lo and behold it "smeared"!!!!! Seems that it was a very fine (less an half a mm) tar or other mark that did not budge with the cleaning. So yes I spent two months off the road for nothing, and Harley also went to a lot of trouble… I’m going to have to go apologize tomorrow…. only thing that could have been worse was if I actually took the bike in and they had started work on it! Mmmmm don’t think I can top this one this year!

Ooooooo bugger!!! Lucky you checked one last time before you sent it in though. It looks pretty convincing… I’m sure you’ll all look back in a year or 3 and laugh about it. And it’s nice to know you get good service.

Thanks Guys, yes it was pretty embarrassing but I duly went to the Dealership today in person to go explain and apologize. They were very gracious about it actually and said that they are also very glad that the bike itself had no fault (yes they have an extra front fork now for a Harley Street Bob, and probably two of them as they reordered it for me a second time – hopefully someone out there can use it….). Needless to say the story went round the workshop quite quickly and it probably made many people’s day. I see the Dealer Principal was already e-mailing the story off to Harley in the US…… Mmmmm I’m not going to forget this one in a hurry. But I really had to especially thank Rudy at the Dealership for his efforts to resolve the initial problem for me by couriering stock in and offering to loan me a bike to make it all happen…. its really hard to beat such good service!! Its nice to know that if something really goes wrong, you have such a team standing right beside you! Needless to say as soon as the sun is shining again, I’m hitting the road on the bike……

DanieVDM on Fri, 20th Jan 2012 7:19 pm
Yes it certainly did but they were very decent about it!

Signs of the times !! Fast mass production nowadays could cause heavy problems. If the surface of aluminum cool down at a rapid pace during production operation microscopically small hairlines cracks are the consequence. Unfortunately these cracks are not often visible.
You were dead lucky !!
DanieVDM on Fri, 20th Jan 2012 8:56 pm
Yes I was, but I must say that most of the Harley stuff is really well made…. they were very surprised to hear of this issue and said it would have been a first time.

That’s great.
So these are all analogue mate?
Did you have prints, or scanned to CD?

Yeah all shot from the Canon. I still wish I knew what setting was what (hi-lo) on the flash, although I like it

You have to do a bit of guess work with the flash (or I do anyway).
I wanna hear this joke.

There are precisely 4 photos of the Los Angeles show on Flickr. Which just goes further to cement it as legendary.
