Big disappointment!
« on: December 22, 2006, 10:04:40 AM »

Wouldn't you just know it.  My new R&B CVO Ultra ordered in August was built on schedule (Wednesday December 20th) and has been sitting on the York shipping dock since.  They tell me that it won't make the last truck out this week due to Christmas vacation.  New ship date is January 2nd when they return to work. What a bummer!

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Many of us have been through this for many different reasons.

The MoCo doesn't seem to stuck on the dates that get posted for build or shipping.  I guess it's the price we pay for a "custom" bike.

It will be here before you know it though and you'll be ridin' high.

What a bummer!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I was luckly, mine actually shipped early and has been home in the garage for two weeks now, has 255 miles on it, only a few more to break her in right.

Patience is a virtue, unless you are waiting for a new SE Ultra!!!!!

Happy Holidays, your New Year will be exciting once you take delivery!!!

Jerry said exactly what I was thinking.  

Merry Christmas and I know how much you will be looking forward to your fantastic new bike in the New Year.  You have a little more time to look over the chrome catalog to see what you will need to add when you get her.  It seem to me that JR and Rainman (NoRain) each had stacks and stacks of boxes of goodies long before the bikes arrived.  there have been lots ahead of you that had to wait a little, but the ride when you get it will make it all worth while.  [smiley=2vrolijk_20.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_20.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_20.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_20.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_20.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_20.gif]

On a positive note you have six months more warranty then those that bought the same bike in July of this year. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] Those that bought early will find all the glitches/hiccups before you and then you can be on the watch for them.

Congrats on shortly getting the ride in!  I know the anticipation must be killing you!

Our dealership is getting a dyno tuner in this week and hopefully will be able to tune our bikes shortly!!!!

Bad news turns to good news. For some unknown reason and contrary to what my dealer was told by the factory, my bike made the last truck out of the factory prior to shut down on Friday.   Happy days are here again!   [smiley=pepper.gif] [smiley=cucumber.gif] [smiley=pineapple.gif] [smiley=apple.gif]
