Deposit on Wide Glide
Put a deposit on an 07' wide glide yesterday.
Having them put a low profile windshield on it as I may lack the upper body and neck strength to hold on facing a stiff wind for some time yet.
It may be a few more weeks before my health will allow me to ride it, and then I will have to work into the longer rides slowly, but I feel better already knowing the bike is in their back room with my name on it.
Will have to start my upgrades all over again this coming winter. The good point to that is that gear drive cams are now available for that model, and this one will be 103 when I am done, instead of the 95 like the previous one. Also, having already been inside the twinkie, I will be familiar with this one, and things may go a lot quicker.

I'm glad to hear you're making a speedy recovery and that your mental strain is lessened. I lost track of your other thread - did you ever take your buddies RK out to decide if riding was still in you?
Either way, you already know you're getting a great bike. Ride safe, take your time and enjoy the heck out of it!

RE: Deposit on Wide Glide
Oh, and BTW, I start physical therapy monday, and they think I'll be doing most of my normal tasks in about three weeks, and be back to work in a month. Right now my charts describe me as "completely incapacitated", so being able to do most of my "normal tasks" whatever the hell that means, is a good thing.
