Ruby Red CVO production delayed until end of May at the earliest?
« on: March 24, 2012, 10:28:18 PM »
After ordering my Ruby Red/Typhoon Maroon last October, and getting a February 29 ship date, I was told by the dealer on March 8th that there were paint problems at the factory  :'((smacked of the Kryponite problems last year!).   At the hubby's urging, we went to the dealership on Saturday, March 10 and I WAS COMING HOME WITH A MOTORCYCLE.   It had been > 4 months of NO WINTER HERE IN SW VIRGINIA; EVERYONE RIDING BUT ME; AND I WAS FEELING PRETTY BRATTY.   Hubby urged me to get whatever I wanted, whatever would make me happy, and to ensure marital bliss :love_3:!   Upon arrival to the shop, our salesman met us, apologized all over himself, offered immediate refund of my deposit and escorted me through the sea of "choices", right up to my 2012 CVO RR/TM bike - gleaming and appropriately decorated with a large two-tone red bow.   Damn near fainted!   Now THAT'S A SCAM.   Hubby and dealer staff had worked this all out to pull off the ultimate surprise.   Awesome 100 miles ride home.   Mods began - full-sac header, V&H Monster Rounds, SERT, SE red spark plug wires, highway pegs, solo seat, passing lamps.   And now it's RAINING NON-Stop.   But I'm still smiling.  ;D Ride on!

Third Ruby Red that I know of in Virginia this month.  I have had mine for just over two weeks and am enjoying it.  Hopefully the rain will get rid of some of this pollen.

Wow. Congratulations.
 I bought my son a new dirtbike for Christmas in 2003. I asked the dealer, which was a good friend of mine, to keep the bike until Christmas eve. My son and I were in the dealership about a week before Christmas. He was sitting on a bike just like the one I bought him and there was a tag that had our last name on it. The tag said Ryan, sold. He seen that and said hey did you buy this for me? I was at a loss for words. The salesman heard this and he comes over. His first name was Ryan. He said, Oh, that is my tag on there, I sold it. My son looked terribly let down. Of course he got the bike in a week and never looked back. I told him later that the bike was his that he sat on.
 I know your husband just made a great memory.

Thanks!  Hubby chuckled at "a little punishment" :biggthumpup:.  Re:  Black/Slate = that's his and he put on a black 4pt hitch and a chopped tour pack.   Looks very stealthy and he loves it.  Just a few more weeks for you!  Enjoy!

it is always to put a little excitment into getting a new and well deserved gift like that.  Congrats.  Great color, isnt it.  If you can post a pic of the bike w the wires that would be great.  I bet it looks great with them.  Thanks and good luck
