    Well, I own 2 Harleys and I have no trouble with them leaking oil. I know the older Panheads did leak alot but what engine wouldn't that is that old.

    200 bikes last night and the only bike in the parking lot that was leaking oil was a Harley. More than urban legend

    I'd sooner believe that Harley came up with a way to make engines that don't need oil than with a way to make their engines stop leaking oil.

    Still, Harleys exist so that Duc owners have access to tools while on the road. I've been there and I'm thankful.

    Thanks to Vortex Racing, Pit Posse Motorsports, Amsoil, and GoPro for their generous support!

    On those rare days when I'm actually quick, an additional thanks to Bridgestone Tires, VP Fuels, and Ferodo Brakes for throwing me the occasional bone!

    And thanks to Western Orthopedics for bolting me back together!

    Well, so far I have yet to need my cell phone or credit card for the HOG's. I only have 1098 miles on them right now so lets see what happens in a few more months.

    I've had two Harley's one 97 Road King and my present 2007 Fat Boy neither has ever lost a single drop of oil. Though Harley's are built as modern Vintage Motorbikes they have way more reliability than say an older Pre- Bloor Triumph ever did.
    Older Harley's didn't leak oil, they simply just marked their spot! LOL

    That engine is probably older than the collective ages of all the bikes surrounding it.
