Bought the bike 3 weeks ago - just sitting in the garage since I'm waiting for the title from the seller (financed via HD). Finally got the title today, and literally 5 minutes after I exit the DMV, it started to rain. I checked the weather and it will be raining for the next 3 days. And for the whole 3 weeks waiting periods - probably it only rained 2 times...!!

 

Rain won't hurt you!!!

 

That's right but I have not gotten myself familiar with this bike (well, I've wiped and cleaned the whole bike 3 times already but probably only rode it once at low speed around the housing complex) and would rather play it safe and wait until the weather is good.

 

A 30 or 40% chance, don't mean you will get wet. Just ride the thing ... always a chance of thunderstorms in the summer.

Oh yeah ... you get great deals buying used bikes, but if the things are financed through Eagle, you can expect 3 - 4 excruciating weeks before they get you the title to hand off to DMV.

 

That's right. After this time around, I will never buy a bike without getting the title right away. I'd rather pay a bit extra than to repeat this waiting game ever again!

 

The same thing will happen after you order new parts and get them installed.

 

just wait until the f-ing winter comes and you want to do mods and your bike is all torn apart collecting dust cause you can't ride it till spring, painful.......

 

hkw8! You are absolutely right. I know it seems like forever but once you get out there you'll forget all about the delays!!!

 

What's this winter you speak of. We don't seem to have one here!

 

Soon as it stops raining, get on er and start riding!!!
