Default The wait is killing me.

Dropped the bike off at JDs cycleworks Oct. 27th for a new 103 build very excited. I get the dreaded phone call that I need crank work so it will add three weeks to the job no problem it has to be done. But today in the mid 60's opened the empty garage and got a little choked up. It seems like a little bit of withdrawels. It helps nowing that the bike is in good hands but I know that with my luck when I get it back we will have a record setting snow fall. Maybe time to get another back up bike.

I feel your pain man. My bike is in getting crank work as well. In the long run it will be worth it in peace of mind alone. But this weekend was in the 60s and it sucked hearing and seeing bikes everywhere enjoying that last gasp of warm weather.

Today it's 34. Bike will probably be done today.

I'm getting some motor upgrades on mine as well and am also waiting/anticipating. Didn't get a call about the crank but they did call and say they were dyno testing it and the clutch was slipping so I'm going to the SE spring. That shouldn't take long, I should have it back soon.
Good luck with your mods.
