Default Getting close!!! Oh so close!

Till the train arrives!
Talked to the dealer this past week, and they said a build sheet was due on the 4th at the factory.
Said it takes about a day, and then five working days later the Train should arrive!
I am getting pumped up big time. Hope it works out that I can get it at least Saturday!

You dealer doesn't have one in stock?
That's odd..
The wait is worse than a broken nose...
When I bought mine, I could pick one in stock, one in storage at Harley's PA. warehouse, or three different build dates.
I took the warehouse bike and had it in a week.

My 06 Dyna was part of the recall so I had to wait an extra 2 mos. I soooooo know the feeling and my heart goes out to you. It IS worth the wait though...

I ordered my 06 FXDI on Feb, 21st and it is supposed to ship by 5-12-06. I sure hope mine is here on time. The wait wasnt so bad during the colder months but its getting pretty tough now.
