Default After Five Months She's Here

Last November I ordered a new Road Glide. I was told that it would be delivered in December. Well, December became January, January became February..you see where I'm going with this don't ya? Well last week it finally arrived and I'm in love. It's everything that I thought it would be. It's not perfect, the mirrors are worthless, unless I want to check out my shoulders, and hey, who doesn't want to do that? I've only been able to get a few miles on it because of all the rain we've had, but I'll make up for it, and then some in a couple of days.
I know that five months is a long time to wait for a bike, but I'm glad I did. I'm very happy.

Great looking bike, enjoy the ride. We had a reasonable day yesterday for riding, but today we are faced with 3 inches of snow on the ground and more to come. Winter seems to be hanging on and on...
