I'm looking for a local Magna Friendly garage - Longview, Texas, 75601.

The local Honda shop is called Fun Motors, and the last time I took my bike to them, they did very little and charged me $350.

The bike is running ok, but obviously not tip top.

When I take off, I can tell there is a little less power than there was a year ago and the fuel mileage has dropped from 110-120 miles per tank to 85-95 miles per tank.

When I took the bike to Fun Motors, they replaced the plugs and called it done. That helped a little, but I really feel like there is something their mechanics just failed to do.

Does anyone have a favorite garage that does a fantastic job with their Magnas?

You are not paid for what you do, but rather for what you will do and when that time comes, you will be highly underpaid.

That sounds like it would be nice, but I'm a new daddy right now and I'd feel irresponsible going out on a 2 hour bike ride to Dallas to shoot the breeze with other bikers for a while before taking another 2 hour bike ride back to East Texas while my wife stayed home and did all the work.

I have to live with the woman, so I try to keep her happy.

Remarkable wisdom, there.  Congratulations on being a new dad.  Sounds like you will be a good one.

By the way, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the last night of really sound sleep you will ever have in your entire life was the night before that first child was born!  Even after they leave home, you will still be listening... :)

That is brilliant, Terry.  If I had that kind of wisdom I might still be married!!  Come to think of it, better to be ignorant and single! LOL

Good looking young man, I'd skip the piano lessons and go straight for engineering school 8-). Oh if I could just send my twenty year old back to that age, :-?, wait , nevermind I'd just have to go through the teenage part all over again !!  By the way ya might just ask your wife, mine used to send me away for short periods of time just so she could have a break from one of use :D.

PS I do admire your dedication to your family, most of the guys here are the same..

Curtis, I thought you were married. I guess that explains why you ride so aggressively :lol:
