Default Its Killing Me ...

Sunny and warm in Kitchener, Ontario today and lots of bikes on the road. My new Crimson Red '08 RKC is supposed to arrive in a couple of days and will be in the shop for a few more days for somemods (VH True Duals & Oval Slip-Ons, Stage 1, Street Slammer bars, chrome, etc.). This one is special as it replaces my 2000 Deuce which I sold a year ago to buy my son a car so he can get to and from college ... the sacrifices we make for our kids!! The only thing keeping me sane is reading this forum which has been a huge help in resolving many of my questions regarding modification decisions ... many thanks!. Anyway, this is my first post after 4 weeks of browsing so thought I'd better introduce myself.

Street slammer bars on a road king? Sounds odd. I hear ya on waiting . It sucks. I have to wait 2 weeks to get my bike back from being painted.

Even worse, I picked up my new Ultra a week and a half ago, and I'm still waiting for the snow to go

Even worse is right...I don't see how you folks in snow country do it (waiting for the snow to go). If I can't ride at least once a week I start going into withdrawal...
