An insult to intelligences everywhere...

Heres my 2pence worth [gonna be the same value as 2cents soon] DB's
reasoning justifies both sides of the debate. Is precisely why the
publishers produce the book in the fist place as there's a market for it.

" but to somebody who just bought a Harley because they want to be "in",
they would probably get some use out of it. And, frankly, anbody who is
willing to pay the price of a Harley, probably wouldn't bat an eye at $35
for a book telling them how to change the oil instead of looking like a
poser by asking somebody else's help". 

And therefore why it's ripe for a bit of jovial mickey taking. 

By the way I'm in the latter group.

I bet you'd be quite surprised how many of these books get sold. Really,
this may sound completely trivial to all of us mechanically minded people,
but to somebody who just bought a Harley because they want to be "in", they
would probably get some use out of it. And, frankly, anbody who is willing
to pay the price of a Harley, probably wouldn't bat an eye at $35 for a book
telling them how to change the oil instead of looking like a poser by asking
somebody else's help. Yeah, it seems rediculous to us, but I find all of
this knocking it a little uppity for my taste. Sorry to disagree, but I
disagree.

   How to Change Oil in a Harley Davidson Motorcycle
   Step1
   Remove the filler cap from the oil tank.
   Step2
   Place the catch basin directly below the drain plug on the oil tank.
   Step3
   Hold a siphon between the oil tank and the catch basin. Some newer Harley
   models may have their own drain hose that you can use.
   Step4
   Use a socket wrench to remove the drain plug from the bottom of the oil
   tank, while continuing to hold the siphon in place.
   Step5
   Wait until all oil has drained into the basin, then screw the drain plug
   back into the oil tank.
   Step6
   Remove the seat of your motorcycle. Most Harley-Davidsons' oil filters
are
   located in a cylinder under the seat.
   Step7
   Take the lid off the cylinder's housing and remove the cylinder.
   Step8
   Unlatch the clip that secures the cap on the cylinder using needle-nose
   pliers and lift out the used oil filter.
   Step9
   Replace the old filter with a new filter before locking the cap back onto
   the cylinder. Put the cylinder back into its home and replace the lid.
   Step10
   Bolt the seat securely back onto the Harley.
   Step11
   Pour the new oil into your oil tank. Your service manual should designate
   the proper amount for your specific motorcycle model.
   Step12
   Put the filler cap back onto the oil tank. Fasten it firmly to avoid a
spray
   of oil.
