Na. You got your bike now.
If you waited, who knows what could have happened.
At least now you can go in the garage and drool.
We're all waiting for Spring :-)

I bought my bike in the middle of January 07.
We had a really warm winter that season.
60 degrees the day I got my bike delivered, but it rained the whole weekend.
Monday it dropped into the low 40's.
Still got out on it though...........couldn't resist.

That's funny...I was watching the Steeler game today here in AZ and I called my dad in Pittsburgh because that's where I'm from. I told him "looks kinda cold there huh?" He called me a few names!!

Hey BucketAss, I've seen that bike you're talking about at the Arrowhead dealership. They've come down a lot in price with that thing. I think it was down to around $18,000 if I'm not mistaken.

There's absolutely no reason you cannot ride now. Get heated equipment from Gerbing. With a heated jacket liner, gloves, some chaps and woolen socks, you can ride down to zero degrees. The heated equipment works. in the NJ/NY/Phil area, we ride "Polar Bear" every weekend from Nov 1. to Apr 1. Distances range from 50 - 300 miles round trip depending on the designated destination and your point of origin. When it gets to be 20 degrees and windy, everyone rides courtesy of Gerbing electrics.

See http://www.gerbing.com and look at the products and find a local distributor in the Pittsburgh area.
