Default Back in the saddle again!

Alrighty...After having the heartache of getting my bike stolen...the fiasco of dealing with the insurance company...local -unhelpful- police and my great (local, this time) dealership...I'll be riding a brand new Night Train home as of tomorrow afternoon. Just went by to see her being set up for me and I gotta tell ya. I'm in love all over again. Heh...getting a stage 1 put on her with Vance and Hines Staggered Big Shots. Of course therey'll be much more to come later! Anywho...Just wanted to thank everyone for all the helpful ideas and comments from when I postd about the theft a little over a week ago. So...Anyone in the San Antonio area wanna go grab a beverage...I'll be the catalyst. Though in my case it'll be non-alcoholic. Fuel makes for speed....Alcohol makes for courage...The two DON'T mix.

Good to see you got that all resolved and are ready to hit the road again. Now if you can just keep the bike parked off the road and outta sight...
Good for you! [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Glad to see you got that mess turned around, and quite quick, I'd say. Now you'll have to work on finding a place to park that's not so inviting.

Hey Doug, congrats on the new scooter. You're right about the booze and bikes. We've seen some sad examples of the combination. Merry Christmas!!
