Gettin' Closer
Ooooo that would be fun,Do not think I am gonna make but I will be thinking about you on delivery day.
Yeah it HAS been a long Christmas waiting for this to finally get completed! 
I'll probably put 100 miles on it the first day! To #ell with the first week. That is if I can manage to keep the thing upright, and me staying ON it :/
I'm trying to get the delivery pushed up a week, but it all depends on how long it takes Harley to get the bike to the dealer. The Dealer is ready for it as soon as it shows up.
Right now I'm looking at the first week of next month based on the original delivery date.
Looking forward to meeting the CREW finally, as well .

Keep the rubber side down at all times and if you think about doing it differently remember that “Crashing Sux” Don’t ask me how I know though…..

Thanks Dave.
I can assure you it wouldn't be intentional IF I got off of it unexpectedly. It's my inexperience that is scaring the $hit out if me being on that thing for the first time. I've had two really good friends get killed riding crotch rockets over the past 2 years, so my sense of survival is already kicking in before I even get ON the Bike. But I'll overcome that deamon one way or another and try to enjoy myself in the process.
BTW, Keep on getting yourself healed - so we can ALL get together. And thanks for the advice. Bill

Its good to have a healthy respect for the potential for harm that accompanies these wonderful machines. My Daddy, whom is a lifetime rider as well always told me that “ The day you quit being scared of em’ is the day your gonna die” and I believe he is right to an extent.
So much for gloomy thoughts, get your hands on that scooter and wear it out and don’t forget to have fun!!!!!

Anyone know how long it takes HD to ship a bike from the Milwaukee plant to a dealer? The dealer doing my delivery can't seem to/won't give me a shipping timeframe. He kinda pi$$ed me off with a don't give a $#it attitude today, for some reason. I'm getting ready to drop about $1500 with them this week for accessories, but I guess that is no big deal to them right now! Yeah they didn't get any of the money from the SALE of the bike, which I have already BOUGHT and paid for!! But I'm gonna be giving them Service and Accessory business - or at least I'm PLANNING to.
I'm suspecting it is gonna take a week or so for the bike to get here. It's supposed to be delivered to ME the day after Easter, according to my contract with ENCS. So it can't take HD THAT long to get it down here to me. Right? Or am I being naive again?
Also, since I have a full-face modular helmet, is there any reason for me to have to go out and get riding/safety glasses as well? I'm going to have a removable windshield on the bike also, since I'm going to be riding I-95 and 9A/295 to get to and from work from here in St. Augustine. The helmet has the usual clear outside lens, with a second retractable smokey slide-down lens on the inside.
I just don't want to have to go out and get extra stuff right now if I don't have to, and if what I already have will work for the time being.
Thanks.

Sounds like your all set, Bill. Do you have some good riding boots/shoes with ankle support? Dealers with "don't give a **** attitudes" son 't deserve your hard earned dollars. Maybe their attitude will change when the bike gets here. Harley dealers need all the business they can get right now. I didn't buy my last bike at my local dealer, but i get decent service. The service manager is a separate profit center than the sales area. Got my fingers crossed for a faster delivery.
Rick - yes I do. I've got my Year-old, Aviation Brown, steel toed Red Wing flight deck boots left over from being on active duty.
The salesman I've been dealing with has been great up to this point, helping me with questions and telling me how the delivery is supposed to go. But for whatever reason the Owner yesterday was just just being a jacka$$. I'm over it, just wanted to vent was all. Got alot of stuff going on here on the homefront, and with the Wife gone unexpectedly like she has been it just seems to make the little things get compounded.
Thanks. Bill.
