WATCH AND LEARN: New DVD Makes Maintaining your Harley a joyride

San Diego, CA August 6, 2004 -- San Diego-based Fix My Hog Inc. has launched an educational do-it-yourself motorcycle maintenance DVD that will help Harley-Davidson enthusiasts become proficient in routine upkeep. Designed to decrease the time and expense associated with owning a motorcycle, the DVD gives Softail riders the skills necessary to perform the basic functions recommended by Harley-Davidson to keep its motorcycles running in top condition. Priced at $39.95, the DVD will pay for itself with just one oil change.
   
Shot in a motorcycle repair shop with professional mechanics, the 70-minute, 12-chapter DVD covers everything from performing a safety check to maintaining the charging system to replacing spark plugs, changing fluids, and more.

Fix My Hog's format makes it easy to follow; each procedure is fully explained and demonstrated step by step in its own chapter by trained, experienced mechanics. Also included are tips, tricks of the trade and a commentary about the changes in style and mechanical design that the motorcycles have undergone over the years, from the Evolution motor to the new, 2004 Softail Twin Cam.

Fix My Hog boasts clear, digital-quality viewing and crisp sound. Unlike VHS, the long-lasting DVD format allows the viewer to advance chapter by chapter or scene by scene. Users can even pause and view a clear, static image in detail—impossible to do with videotape.

Company founder Dennis Santopietro, an avid motorcyclist and Harley-Davidson owner, created the DVD to fill a niche. "Maintenance is necessary; I wanted to make it enjoyable and easy as well. A well-maintained motorcycle runs better, looks better and is safer. In addition, regular upkeep helps a motorcycle retain its value and stay on the road longer—and, let's face it, that's the ultimate goal. Even if you can't tell a drain plug from a spark plug, you will be able to handle your motorcycle's basic maintenance after watching this DVD."

Harley-Davidson owner Eric Pirone commented, "Fix My Hog's DVD is the best instructional tool I've seen. It's straightforward, educational and entertaining. Once you learn the techniques you'll get so much satisfaction from working on your motorcycle, and you can save hundreds of dollars or more by doing the work yourself. Even if you never put a wrench to gleaming chrome you'll understand the inner workings of the bike and be more knowledgeable when you bring it in for service. Fix My Hog's DVD on H-D Softail maintenance is well worth adding to your library."

Santopietro plans to expand his DVD offerings to other models of Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
