I went over to the dealership and finalised the deal this afternoon. Swapped the clear anodised panniers that I previously had on order to the black anodised ones - which were in stock as well.
All the accessories I had ordered are also sitting there waiting for the bike to turn up. Titanium exhaust, K&N air filter, big bash plate, radiator guard, tank pads, reduced reach seat and short smoked screen.....
Decisions, decisions......Guildford HD just called me to say they will be getting a Pan America Special with ARH and wire wheels delivered next week.
It's black, but the one I ordered is grey. But is still on the boat and now not expected until August 15th.
So....do I go for the black one or wait another month. I think I am leaning towards the black....
Buy the colour you like the most, otherwise over time it will just eat away at you
Morning Adm,
Good to hear your getting your bike early.
One thing to check with your dealer re your cases, is that the have the frame for them. Mate of mine picked up his bike last week, expecting to have cases on the bike, only to be told that the frames were on back order.
The only thing that isn't confirmed in stock yet is a new clamp and gasket for the exhaust. The installation instructions say these are needed. They are different to the stock ones and are not included with the pipe purchase for some reason. Just waiting to hear if they have these - but hopefully they will.
Some boring facts for you..
Thailand to Zebrugge is 30-34 days depending on sea state... so if it was built today.... it will be at least 3-7 days before Port of departure..
Then say 32 days at sea... 2 days custom clearance and a day into HD Europe DC...so that’s 41 days from today.... then it needs to be shipped to UK.. lets say two shipments @ week - so 3 days, clearance 1 day then dealer.... if delivered DTS.. Dealer has to unbox and PDI.. 3 days..
I reckon 47 days.....
W/C 19th July in your paws.......let’s see how close I am..
Thread revival, but very, very close indeed. In fact, totally correct.
The bike actually arrived at Guildford on 22nd July and was PDI'ed and ready to go last Friday. I was away on a bike trip to Wales for a long weekend. Then I wanted to get it ceramic coated before I took it, which happened today. But....I am off on a 4 day bike trip to Cornwall tomorrow and as I am the (F**kin' C*nt) Road Craptain for the ride I didn't really want to embarrass myself by falling off my brand new bike. So it's getting delivered to me on Tuesday morning.
Fucking Raod Captain.
What a WANKER.
FUCK OFF.
Aaaaaaaannnnnnndddddd......Fuck you too. ****. At least I am riding rather than wanking on a website.
I am doing both, they call it multi tasking.
Road Captain......Bwhahahahahahahahahahwhjahahahwhahahahwhahahahwhahah, laughed so hard I popped a bollock.
You can still fuck off or you can join me in a wanking competition, the call is yours sweetcheeks.
I think we've been through the whole Road Captain thing in earlier threads. I make no apologies.
I'm actually surprised you still have a bollock left to pop given all the emasculated sounding whining that you do.
Sorry. I don't really want to get personal, but you can still fuck off. I'm off to Cornwall for 4 days, then getting a new bike, so happy days!
"Sorry I don`t want to get personal" That wasn`t personal, nothing could ever be personal, I have nothing that is private anymore, my Mother was a whore, my wife if mentally fucked, my own life is a fucking travesty of life, I have nothing to hide, I care not that I live or die, I hate all the British, life is a fucking sufferance and death does not want me, not does it know what to do with me.
I have called the devil, he never returns my calls and Oi just don`t give a fuck...And you bring up personal, well sorry if I disappoint you for not being vexatious.
I never noticed when you were born, nor will I notice your demise....That`s as good as it gets cobber.
Now off you fuck.
Exactly what I meant by emasculated whining. Fancy a pint?
I will have a pint of emasculated whining if that is what you want...If it is what you feel I need in order to present a level playing field for yourself, then fill you boots.
However I suggest we let blood flow and drink a pint of each others blood...No warmers, just straight.
