Thanks brother, I'll be sure to let you know. Tentatively my Father-in-law is thinking about driving up there with his trailer to haul it back for me before I get back to the land of the big PX. He has quite a bit on his plate, so I give this plan about a 50/50 of working out.

If I end up doing the pickup I'll definitely give you a call

I'm so excited now it is hard to believe I still have about a month and a half to wait

In just one week my wife and her Dad are going to pick it up on May 1st from Motor City HD.

I'll be sure to put up some pictures when they pick her up. I asked my wife to take lots of pictures and send them to me. My time for being home (Mid May) is also getting closer. In the mean time I continue to re-prioritize my mod list, which I don't want to finalize until I've at least had a chance to ride the bike

The good part is as long as yo have been waiting you have a god knowledge of what works, what does'nt and why, ect. You wont be trying and sending back or reselling (as much anyway)

Hey Sapper, congrats on the delivery of your new scoot. We have not had great weather here of late. Too much rain and it got cold for awhile. With that said it is better than Iraq. Be safe, holler when you get here. I am always up for a lunch ride to Memphis or something. Oh and if it needs some break in time, I offer my services. lol

Sapper6 · « **Reply #64 on:** May 04, 2010, 02:24:41 PM »

Gents, thanks again to each of you.... Yoda, so kind to offer to break my bike in

Race, did I mention I live just outside of Indy in Avon?

Mark, did ya manage to sell the other bike yet? I hope your enjoying your return and your bike.

trwtow and Bubblehead, I just have to be careful not to be riding and wrenching TOO much.

lest I end up angering the old lady and family.

BTW, I had asked my dealer to order me a replacement seat, which he did, but he told my father in law that when they put it on the bike it didn't fit as well as the original seat and that they thought I would not have the gap issue. They have another bike a TQ on the floor in the dealership which had a visible gap without anyone sitting on the bike. Right now the original seat does look good, however my concern is that it will eventually sag over time. I believe I'll e-mail the dealer and request for them to do a swap by mail as soon as I get home. I just prefer the idea of knowing that one seat should hold up better over time. We'll see whats what soon enough.

Thanks Gary, Frank, Terry, Bubblehead, JC, Derek, Kev, Mark, Yada and Gus!

JC, I'm headed your way this summer! I don't know the dates for certain, my wife and family planned the trip and I just know I'm going. It's a family trip though to Napa Valley, no bikes $:-\$ however I'd like to try and meet up with a few of the left coast guys that are available for chow one day or evening

I look forward to it!

Let me know your plans as soon as you know where you'll be, when, etc. and I'll get the crew together and head over.

In the mean time.......here's a sneak preview from a ride we did a few months ago...... http://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=44833.0
