Default The wait is killing me....

Sent in my loan application and the wait is killing me.

I have been riding my brother-in-laws 04 Super Glide and that has just made the wait worse.

Decided to go for the 06 FXDI, it will be my only transportation and will see a lot city driving so maneuverability was an issue.

Still waiting.

My cerdit had issues that had to be taken care of but it's all good now and the wait has let me learn a lot. I have been riding a Dyna though thanks to my brother-in-law getting a second bike.

I have learned so much just from this forum and the people on it, and I didn't even have to ask any questions.

So now I am waiting on the 07s, this week is going by to slow.
I have swayed towards the Street Bob ( Vivid Black unless the new 07 colors look good ) and having waited so long I know 80% of the mods I want.

Mods:
taller apes 14"
black shocks
different solo seat
different head light
sissybar
black header
highway pegs
black powder coated fat 40 spoke wheels

A word of advice, never say that in the presence of an 8 1/2 month pregnant woman. Trust me, I speak from experience!
