    My initial thought was, I would need a new bike to feel 100% confident.

    Then, my next thought was, humans and quality control can never be100%.
    There is always that % of failure that is acceptable.

    But yeah, if this was my brand-new bike I would be furious as well as many have stated.

    So I am beating the dead horse.

    They have the choice they gave me. They didn’t fix my leak on the first try and refused to try again.

    Oh that’s some BS there time to climb the chain of command. Man I really hate to hear that. Wtf it’s under warranty they legally have to make good one way or another I’d think regardless

    Sounds like a lemon to me. I’d want another bike.

    I know a woman that works in quality for Polaris, down here. She tells frightening stories about shuttered lines, parts shortages, and general assholery.

    That can’t be good. That’s more oil than my Harley ever leaked at one time. I’d see maybe a drop or two, but not that much. Hell, I’ve got a 12:year old Sportster that doesn’t leak at all.

    Wait a minute Bobby are you saying the leak we’ve been discussing was a loose oil filter ? Or did I miss something all together here

    OK, this sounds like fun. I’ll offer up a few options:
    - Leaking Jesus
    - Seeping Jesus
    - Holey Jesus
    - Bobby No-Bung
    - Oily Bobby
    - Bobby Fissure
    - Crackhead Bobby

    OK, I’ll stop now . . .

    (p.s. - sorry Bobby, just kiddin’)
