March 24, 2005 -- Like the Softail edition, which has been called "outstanding," "a bargain" and "well-presented and informative," the Touring edition was shot in a motorcycle repair shop
with professional mechanics who demonstrate each procedure step by step. The 3 1/2 - Hour DVD focuses on the Harley-Davidson Touring models. Topics covered include everything from
performing a safety check to maintaining the charging system to replacing spark plugs, changing fluids, replacing tires and more. Also included are tips and tricks of the trade and
detailed in-depth bench work based on years of experience.
Fix My Hog's Touring Edition DVD boasts clear, digital-quality viewing and crisp sound in an easy-to-follow format, and each procedure is fully explained and demonstrated by trained,
experienced mechanics. 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 DVDs to fill a niche. "I thought it would be great to have a maintenance DVD that would
make routine upkeep enjoyable and easy. Manuals can be daunting, but actually seeing something demonstrated makes you more confident that you can do it yourself. I guess a lot of people
shared my opinions-the DVD has flown off the shelves and the feedback we've gotten has been incredibly positive. Many riders are now doing their own maintenance, having fun, and saving
money to boot. I couldn't be happier. Lots of customers who wrote in requested a similar product for touring motorcycles, so that's what we did."
Fix My Hog's DVD has found favor with both experienced mechanics and new owners alike. A customer from California commented, "I did a complete maintenance on my Softail and went by the
DVD step by step. Fix My Hog, you have a winner." A Rhode Island rider remarked, "I got the DVD yesterday and knew very little about my motorcycle, but I had been trying to figure stuff
out from the service manual. Seeing things live is far better. I just finished changing the primary and transmission fluids yesterday!" "I do routine maintenance on my bike," said a
Connecticut rider. "Having your DVD to compliment the manual is great."
Santopietro plans to continue to expand his DVD offerings to other models of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. For more information on Fix My Hog Inc. or to order the DVD, visit www.fixmyhog.com, or call 619/269-9321.
