Welcome,

You are getting a great bike and my opinion the best pipes made.

Come back here often and post often. When you get the bike post pics.

Many of us waited months for our rides too, so we understand the pain!

Post some pics when you get it...

Hello and Welcome dingus, I think we should throw a party every time someone takes possession of a new bike around here. In your case we could call it "Dingus Day!" [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

Welcome Aboard, post often and enjoy your stay.
