Hammond Harley.
Bought my Roadking there used and an extended warrenty. Had it a couple of weeks and kept hearing a noise in the engine. The service manager and some of there Phds said it was piston slap so I said fix it. After I got home they call me and told me that IF the problem was not piston slap then I would be responsible for parts and labor. I told them not to touch it and that I was on my way to pick it up. I told them I would ride it till I had a catrosphic <sp> engine failure then they would know exactally what was wrong with it. They then said to calm down a bit. What ever warrenty didn't cover, the shop would. Got it back and did my 1000 mile oil change and I;ll be damned if they didn't leave my drain plug loose.
