Default Finally starting to move.
Well, I know I have not posted much lately. And for those who know the Saga of Medusa, you probably understand why. The bike has been out of commission since June 26th. With a blown engine. MoCo voided my warranty.Lost the entire season, well not really. The dealer did provide a 07 low rider as a loaner. Anyway, I'm happy to report that I finally was able to get the funds together ( thanks to some help from friends ) and Medusa is now on the operating table. With any luck I should have her back by the end of the month. Unfortunately, her warranty is still voided, and had to pay for the expense out of pocket. Anyway that's another issue entirely, and hopefully one that will soon be fixed.

If I recall correctly it was from modifications. But most of them were dealer installed.

I still don't really understand how if you got the dealer to install the parts and yet it voided your warranty..

but dealers are sneaky..

No offence soup but when she comes off the operating table I'd have her gurney'd out to the showroom and take any reasonable offer.

No offense taken. I'm kicking around my options.
