|  Honestly, who does this?! Venting...
Alright, so I just bought this bike a week ago and yesterday I get all set up to do my first oil change on it, just because I have no idea when it was done last. I get everything all set up and I get under the bike and see that the drain plug is completly and utterly mangled up. I mean it is so bad that I can't even get the 14mm wrench around the stupid thing. It's like it was made of lead or pewter or something. The bike has only 6600 miles on it and I am wondering how many oil changes the previous owner did to make it look like this. And why the previous owner never replaced the plug looking like that. And why the previous owner mangeled it up in the first place... Grrrr... Now I think I must give someone LOTS of money to take the darn plug off.  Now when I buy a used vehicle from someone, I need to take care to check the oil drain plug.
