Ordered August 9 2008 (6 months today) deposit put down including color choice.

All Hawaii bikes come through a Distributor (middleman) which is conveniently a subsidiary as is a competing dealer (Same parent company).

I wanted to see O/B and S/T... I was never a fan of banana yellow.... (no offense to those that own them)

Shortly after the order was submitted, competing dealer shows a O/B on the floor (no deposit)

Looked at it, bitched that the option for bike #1 was mine (color choice) Then decided orange was too bright for something I'd ride everyday. (Yes, I plan on riding it everyday) My deale said if I wanted it he'd get it... I declined....

So... I get information this week that the S/T is en route... cool... and then I find out a second S/T is right behind it!

Damn that pisses me off.

Good keep the yellers off O'ahu, so mine will be the only one when (IF) I bring it over! 

Hope you get it worked out so you get the ride you want soon.

One of my Buddies is leaning towards the yellow.

I told him I guess we gotta go to Maui together and go get it!

I guess there is room for two. 

You'll have to point me in the direction of the better dealership to deal with there. being a rookie HD guy I need all the help I can get... lol

Guess I'm missing something.  Why not happy about a second silver bike in transit?

Hawaii is a rather limited market... so I know I'll see the other silver one... kind of takes the exclusivity out of the equasion.

Of course, the flip side is it gives me the ability to deal in a market that rarely deals...

The good news is..... I have an expected delivery date now... and even a VIN! 2/17/2009

You'd be surprised that I can ride 200 Miles on this rock in one day and not see any of my friends?

You got pics of your license plate mount on your nanna?

Its obvious Jimmy Durante (The nose of a license plate lite) has left your bike...

How did you remove the license plate lite and relocate the plate higher up?

When I first ordered mine, I wanted Silver, Orange, then Yellow as preference of color in that order. My deposit was for first choice as all the bikes route thru the distibutor in Hawaii. There was no money down for one in the State with the exception of my order and yet the first one went to the dealership that was a subsidiary of the Distibutor's owner.

My dealer raised hell as he had a deposit... but it came down to being able to ride O/B or Y/G as a daily ride. I think the color would give me a headache riding all day in the bright, warm Hawaii sunshine.... (Riding in circles or not) So I passed... and said I'd wait for Silver... hawnbear has the O/B, the Yellow is still sitting on the floor of Maui HD and now 2 Silver ones are en route... 6 months after the order was placed... Ironic... I should have travelled and bought one, Rode the crap out of it then brought it back here.... and I still would have had one before this one got here!
