It's cheap compared to some stealers, but it'd be a lot cheaper if you did
it yourself and it's not like his is hard work or a job that needs any real
skill. Just a pair of eyes, an oil filter and enough oil to re-fill the
motor.

I do my own maintenance since I have access to a shop. I wonder
if anyone uses these quick change oil places like Jiffy Lube?

I wouldn't because I like to remove any crap caught in the drain plug screen
and by the drain plug magnet. "Quickie" changes use a vacuum to drag the oil
back out of the motor, usually through the dipstick tube, but not many bikes
have a dipstick, let alone a tube.

That's a number similar to what I pay my Honda dealer to change my Wing's
oil.
