So depressing and frustrating

It's absolutely beautiful outside and I'm not supposed to ride my week old bike! Ugh!!! I know it's just the way thinks work but damn that sure doesn't make me feel any better. The best riding weather of the year only last a few weeks here and we can't ride. I think I would have felt a little better if I would have had it a few months and enjoyed it but I only have 75 miles on it..lol.. Oh well just wanted to vent a little.

Why can't you ride? Do you have an injury?

If the dealer hasn't made arrangements to come get your bike for the repairs, ride on.

Yes the recall notice is what I was referring to. I'm dropping it off tomorrow so it will be there when the parts come in this week. Hopefully the parts will come in Monday or Tuesday and have the bike back by Friday at the latest. We have a ride planned for Nov 2nd and I need to get some miles on my bike before heading out of town. Would like to have at least 400 miles on it before jumping on the hwy to run 85mph for 4 hours.
