Default 2011 tri-glide

Just returned from 2 years in the "sand box" (Afghanistan) DOD contractor. Had the "trike" as a screen saver since 2009. Upon return home last Sept 2010 while visiting the grandkids, Orange Park Fla, Adamec H/D had one on the floor ready to go. 50% $$ down and she's mine. Took girlfriend out to Ocracoke Island last Thursday for a romantic getaway and ran into rain for 4 hours. Next morning, beautiful clear day on the Outer banks, started her up and DAMN (just DAMN) reverse quits and the cd/radio worked intermittently. Also noticed while at high speeds, 65+, shifting between 5th and 6th wouldn't cooperate. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!!! Taking this POS into the local dealership this morning, states it will take about a week before I get her back. With less than 2300 miles I'm very disappointed . Googleing all this and I see I'm not alone. Any advice out there??Heading to Nova Scotia next month, hopefully, now I'm not so sure.

Welcome aboard from New York. I'm glad to hear you made it home from the sandbox safety and THANKS for helping out our country. Sorry to hear about your troubles. I wonder why it's going to take them a week?
