Are Fred's DVDs copyrighted or something? Does he not want them copied even though he isn't making them anymore? It would probably be pretty easy to store them in the cloud and then just provide/sell the link for access. Seems as though there will always be an interest for people to want them along as there are Connie's flying around out there. I for example, am brand-new to the Sport Touring world. I have gone from being able to take my Vulcan completely apart for all maintenance and putting it back together again to now having a a bike I can't even change the air filter on. Without having somebody near me to teach me, I feel completely dependent on either the dealer or myself to try and figure things out. I wish COG would have YouTube channel and put all of Fred's maintenance videos on there. That would be amazing. Or some other link that would be a perk to Cog membership or something. But of course, it all comes down to how Fred feels. They are his masterpieces and above all we need to respect him and his wishes.
Another idea would be to perhaps have a spot on the forum where members post video links of common maintenance routines i.e. removing wheels, replacing break pads, changing oil, coolant, removing fairings, replacing air filter, shaft/swingarm maintenance, etc etc.
Attached is a photo of the regular maintenance I perform on my Vulcan 1600 before a big road trip each year. I would love to have the confidence to do what I need to do with Connie to keep her at her best!
