Default Finally getting my ride back from repairs.

Riding back from home to work, 5 1/2 hours, on Fathers Day lower front exhaust bolt breaks off even with the head about 3 hours out. Took it to the dealer the following Tuesday, good news extended warranty to cover cost, bad new had to order parts. New head. Finally got the call yesterday they gonna have it ready Friday to pick up, wow, never new I could miss something mechanical so bad.

I know how you feel, my bike was down from Jan to March, I rode it for exactly 2 months, had a problem in May, hopefully the last part I need will be here Thursday, and I just may be back in the saddle this weekend, its a long story that I will write a thread about.
