Jeez, you've obviously never owned a metric bike. I loved my road star, but the stealer NEVER EVER had anything in stock for it. Not one damn nut or bolt. Everything had to be ordered and was always a few days wait.

Don't feel so bad, I live on the West coast and it takes just as long for things to get to me from the East coast :-)

My thoughts exactly! The first thing I check when I order online is where the item will ship from. Do what I do wait and obsessively check the progress on the tracking link!

My tuner/builder ordered the parts, everything was here last week but the new crank and the pistons. Motor is all torn down, everything is ready to go, but the crank and pistons.
