Default Hello from Iowa

I'm from West Virginia, but I live in Iowa now. Can't say I'm thrilled about it, but I've been here about eight years now.

I had a 2014 Road King until August 7, 2016. On that day, I had ridden it from Iowa to West Virginia. I was about 100 yards from my parents house when I was hit by a car, totaling my bike. I've been without a bike since. The insurance paid for it just fine, but I was diagnosed with cancer in September, had surgery in February, and just recently got to the point where I couldn't stand being without a bike again.

About a month ago, I ordered another Road King from my local dealership. Now, I'm playing the waiting game and it's killing me. My new Road King--hot rod red flake--has a shipping date of May 22 right now. Dealership is saying I'll get it sometime in June. So here I am, waiting.

I'm a single dad of 15-year-old twin boys. I've tried to attach a picture of one of my sons sitting on my 2014 Road King, may she rest in peace.

I think it's just the weather that's got me down on IA right now. I'm getting tired of this cold rain!
