Kind of an expensive day - 28k service

[gkamer]

Took my 2018 RT into the shop today for the 28K service. During the service they discovered the drive belt had been damaged by some type of debris. Also the rear tire was marginal. Tech said it could probably last till spring before it needed to be replaced. But since they were already in there, I decided to have it replaced as well. I was quoted $2,000 and change. Now I know if I had the tools, the expertise, and the mobility, I could have saved a lot of money. But since I don’t have any of those attributes, this was the only way for me to go. They are going to have to order the drive belt, said it would take about a week to get in. Which is fine since winter is coming here in the Pacific Northwest and riding opportunities will be far and few between.
