TC purchasers

Watch Out! There are still machines out there that have not been fixed!

I have a 99 Dyna in my garage now with 11346 miles that shit the cam
bearing.

This bike was purchased from an estate on the right coast last year with
very low miles (it was pushed in circles in the garage while the rider
made vroom vroom noises).

The buyer told me that all issues had been addressed previously
(probably a stack of receipts for chrome) and never produced them for me
to peruse, so the bearing was not looked at.

He now has a motor that has been contaminated with metal debris that
will certainly shorten it's service life (and a sizeable repair bill).

I'll tell you that is not a noise you want to hear!

Even on an EVO, it's an allful sound, a sound I don't want to hear
again!
