Default Poor Pitiful Me

I had to put the bike in the shop this afternoon. When I bought it the local shop gave me 30 days warranty on anything on the bike. 1st day I noticed the dash indicator for the RH turn signal was burnt out. So I rode by the shop and let the sales guy know. They set up an appointment to change it out for tommorrow. So I left it with them this afternoon.

On the good side - while they have the fairing off, they are going to change out all the bulbs on everything. That is good.

One the bad side - I have to take the cage to work tommorrow. Not that I dont like my cage. But I really will miss riding my bike.

I should have changed out those bulbs myself. Dang!

I guess that's just the perils of the HD syndrome. She'll be back shortly.

I have not even cranked mine in TWO (count 'em) TWO weeks! [sm=headbang.gif]

No time, bad weather, feeding the baby, etc. Excuses excuses. [:@]

When we get into a house instead of a condo so I can actually keep my bike at home.. I'll be up an hour early every morning just so I can wake up the neighbors with the pleasant distinct sound of Rineharts backfiring for the RIDE (not drive) into work. Ah if only the parkway went to Weaverville.

Here is what you will have to do.
Ride the bike to work double the miles for the days that you miss
In other words, make up them lost miles some how.
