Well, she only mentioned four people and there were a lot more than that in the bar, so you could’ve still been right. Depending on what was wrong with her engine, it may have needed to be in a garage to fix anyway, so it’s possible one was a mechanic, looked at it for her and let her know this 🙂
Not even the best mechanic can materialize fasteners that have fallen off. Something needs to hold the oilpan in place, plus she might have been down a bit low on oil.
Even though some of them might actually be professional mechanics, the rest of them have probably enough mechanics on at least a hobby-level to maintain their bikes. Just because someone is a doctor or a lawyer doesn’t mean that *all* they do in their life.
It can take a fair chunk of change to purchase and maintain a Harley and the gear to go with it. It doesn’t surprise me that a bunch of professionals make up those bikers. That doesn’t mean some of them couldn’t have figured out a way to fix her car using bailing wire and bubblegum, but probably better for them to get her home with the car at the garage.
Yep, that’s the state of Harley-Davidson culture these days. Rich white baby boomers.
If you got the beard, and you got the Harley, that’s all you need. Matter of fact, FORGET the beard.

Shedding the oil pan is usually not something that can be fixed at roadside.
