Got the call from my dealer today. Ship date for my bike is
NOVEMBER 21ST !!!!!!!!!

Like I said while down at MV last week, it'll prolly get here about the same time as the first blizzard

Delivery will be about 3 full months from the day I put my deposit on it. I know others have waited longer and there are those bikes sitting on the floor in dealers now but I'm just a bit peeved. Seems like the smaller dealers get shoved to the end of the line when it comes to bike allocation

On a more positive note, when I talked to my salesman he told me to keep riding my bike and not worry about the miles, just don't wreck it. The deal I made is already on paper and they will honor my trade in value as noted on the paper so they get to eat the 3 months of depreciation.
We have maybe 2 months of riding left here before the salt hits the road so I guess I can tinker with it over the winter. Already a few cosmetic mods planned and have to figure out what I'm going to do about the Prius sounding stock exhaust. I may just change the mufflers or cores for the time being and see how it runs. I'm sure I'll end up doing more to it but that can wait until riding season is over next year.
