    Bite yer tongue.

    Fish is one of the best nutricial foods you can eat.
    I fish for Black Bass to have a fight and pull. I don't eat them

    I eat Croppie, white bass, stripers, catfish and a variaty of saltwater fish.
    Along with Mudbugs and shrimp and oysters.
    The oil in saltwater fish is excellent for yer diet.

    MY Ol used to say she don't like fish.

    Fried up her a mess of croppie, with fried taters with onions.
    She don't like onions either.
    She ate em up.

    Nope

    I was somewhere else. They stated that me puttin a Odyssey battery in my bike might lead to HD not warranting some of my warranty.

    Called the HD dealership today after being told buying a aftermarket battery might effect my warranty if I have any electricial problems.
    Told them it was a Sunday and my battery went out and I was 60 miles from home.
    Told them I was on the bottom end of Conroe and went into Batteries Plus and got a Odyssey battery.
    I was told that a Odyssey battery is a Excellent battery.

    He said I couldn't git the Odyssey battery warrantied but other than that he saw no problems with the warranty on my bike being covered.
    I said that is all I wanted to know Thanks
    I paid for the battery and can't take it back.

    Interstate is a very good car battery. Don't know about their bike batts. Diehards give no indication that they are getting weak they just stop working. My experience working on friends Japanese bikes anyway.

    Used interstate in my work trucks, used them in my boats. even treid the Optima
    Won't run them again.

    We work on boats. INstall crankin batteries and trolling motor batteries.
    Carry some of them on the truck and go pick em up
    Nobody charges their batteries till they are ready to use them.

    WE Will not put interstate in anything !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I've had better luck with autozone batteries in boats than interstate.
    More and more customers are using Autozone batteries.

    :roflmao::roflmao: I got news for you CB most all those batteries come off the same assembly line they just change the label. You say no, well I witnessed it in a plant here. I was at a Johnson Controls battery plant in Canby Oregon and yep, interstate, excid, Die Hard and several others coming down the assembly line. They would stop the line and change labels, I laughed when I saw that. There are different cold cranking amps and so on but many go down the same assemble line.
    Probably all that moist swamp humid air down where your at killed your battery, or you don't ride it enough.

    Johnson controls build batteries for a lot of folks. But they build them to the standards that the battery companies want.

    Odyssey Batteries are built in Missouri.
    They ain't build by JC.

    The Chineese build a lot of stuff too.
    They show you different levels of quality. Everytime the quality goes up the price goes up and the profit goes down.
    The chineese has a sheet showing you all the levels of this and the profit sheet.
    its up to the person paying the bill which quality they want.

    east penn-Deka makes HD batteries

    you can buy direct from local East Penn distributors much less
    and they are the correct AGM battery

    As long as the battery is the correct cranking amps and
    is built to work in the bike it isn't going to void the warranty
    you do not have to buy HD stuff to keep the warranty fed law
    prohibits that, if the dealer tells you that ask him for your free part
    because the law says if you have to buy manufacturers parts to
    maintain the warranty they have to give them to you free..

    Fish r good..

    The dealer says they don't have to take yer bike in to work in it.
    And you don't get a free part unless they look at the bike and they install it.

    I could of bought a Deka battery, they had them at Batteries Plus.
    Didn't want a battery that last me 2 1/2 yrs and goes out.
