Ordered in early March. Scheduled delivery is 10 June or when I get back from Iraq, whichever is later.

Hell yea I am always waiting on a new bike or should I say next bike. problem is i find it hard to give up the old ones. I am hoping to get the wife certified and make her get her own, not that I mind riding her on the back of mine. I think she needs a roadking or a delux she wants a fatboy. Wish I could talk her into getting a sporty so I could give it a spin and it will probably be cheaper when she drops it. bought her a honda to learn on, it spent more time horizontal than vertical. Since she cant even drive a standard car it was hard on her to learn but she has it down fairly well now. She will take the course as soon as school is out for the summer and I will buy her one. I think she just wants one to drive to school. Her third graders will think its cool tht thier teacher is a biker...lol

Have been waiting since March 31 06, they said it should be here around May sometime.
I don't mind really right now, because it allows me to think about what I should get for
it. I can also save up a little more for the down payment!
I will probably hold off on a seat, and pipes for a while at least till I can figure out what
I want. I thought about a sissy bar too, but I have been thinking about either a custom
made one, or something along those lines!
Mine will probably remain stock really until I figure out what I want and the direction I
want to style it.

Went to HD of Atlanta today and bought my 2006 EGS with a few nicely placed mods. It will be done in about a week they say. I told them to take their time putting my pipes and all of that stuff on. I have waited this long and 7 more days aint gonna kill me.

I am soooooooo excited!!!!!!!

I feel like a little kid...

I ordered my EG Classic, black cherry, Mar 25th. Dealer received it Apr 24th and I was headed home with it Apr 27th. Not that I was counting. Sticker on the bike says mfg'd 4/06.
