Default Trouble Letting Go...
So guys... it's officially been over a month since my Night Train was stolen and even though in the interim I've a) gotten a 2010 Street Glide and b) had a nice Mexican vacation with my beautiful wife...

... I just can't seem to let her go. It seems that the farther away I get from it, the worse it gets. It's like someone kidnapped a family member. I keep thinking she'll turn up and I'll see her again. I know reality says different, but dammit if that isn't what I'm thinking.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my SG- she's everything that I was looking for in a bike and more but...

ah well.

Just venting.

I would feel the same, I think. Some tough crap to go through. Enjoy your Glide. Keep in touch.

Yea, nothing worse than getting something stolen from you...especially something as personal as your bike. At least you do have a nice looking SG to ride though!

The # they gave me is pretty good. It's the hoops that they're making me jump through to actually get it is what's starting to **** me off.

Trust me, brother- you do NOT want to go through this.

The SG is sweet though...

When something is stolen from you that anger will last a long time. That is why they used to hang horse thieves. Sure cut down on repeat offenders.

Used to think I wanted a Street Glide, but not if it means losing my NT. I'd freak if it was stolen.

What sucks is that you didn't make the decision, it was forced on you. I know that's how I would feel. At least you're not without a bike.
