Well,
we're off for another visit to the dealers today, and if it turns out they are 'blowing smoke'* at us, there will be Words....
After all, it's not our fault we'll have been waiting the best part of three months before the bike turns up.....

* 'blowing smoke' = 'having us on' = 'pulling our chain' = 'bullshitting' right?

Here's the update....
The deal was done in August and stands, just as if the bike was here in August.
Even though it probably won't have arrived from the USA (via Rotterdam, Belgium, France, & Milton Keynes etc) til late October - perhaps even November....!
So, no smoke - just a whole lot more waiting.
And checking out the Slim pics that are being posted, for ideas...

Aha!!!!
Message from My Man at the dealers today. My bike should be in by the end of next week. Given a few days to do all the necessary prep-work & I could be out and on the road within a fortnight.
Yee-harrr!

Ahhhh... But what about Marmite? And is it Birds ready-to-serve custard or some pale imitation??
It's a black matt/denim one. Which I'm told will be a bugger to keep clean but I don't mind.
Now, apart from the glorious weather, good food, nice people & ultra-cool lifestyle what in the world could have made you want to move to Florida??
