Hockey - Thanks for the update. Sounds like the damage wasn't too bad; why is it going to be 3-4 months before you get the bike back?

all of the parts that are painted takes 6 to 8 weeks to get from H-D because they paint them in batches plus the fact that H-D is closing down until after xmas ill keep you all posted..

Hey brother,
Good to hear you're coming around. I would expect you to be sore for a while. Put on a sturgis T and imagine you just did the Miami to SD run in record time.
Hope the estimate on time down for the bike shortens up for you.

Not familiar with what happened, but if it wasnt' your fault, and if the other guy's insurance is paying for it, then shouldnt' they give you a comparable rental until your's is fixed? Granted, it wouldn't be YOUR bike, but at least it'd be bike.

Glad to hear you're doing OK. Just make sure the bike is fixed better than new. Atleast it's winter.
