Default Got the call!!!

I got the call today from the dealer. If all works out ok I should be able to pick up my bike on Saturday (raining high of 38). If not i will have to wait until the 22 because i have to go out of town for a week. I'm keeping my finger crossed.

Dont have to worry about that, i dont have a trailer. Worst case i have to wait for a extra 10 day to pick her up because i am going out of town for a week for work. I think the extra 10 would be worth the wait instead of the 1.5 hour ride i have home. I will let you know and post picks as soon as she is home.

MoesSS,

Congrats...the day I went to pick mine up a sand storm kicked up with 40+ mph winds...we got through the whole deal, paperwork, talk through the bike, all of it. Mama looked at me and said, "You're not going to ride that home NOW are you?" The owner of the shop looked at me and said, "You can leave it here 'till this mess blows over."

So I had to leave it Got it the next day, best decision I made, it was NASTY, so do the right thing. You'll have it a long time and if you are going to be gone 10 days anyway, it doesn't really matter!

Congrats and don't forget the pics!

Mac
