I think I'm gonna cry

[fulcrum]

Hi,

I just got a call from my dealer. The insurance company has finally approved everything (only took them two weeks, and me abusing a supervisor over the phone on Friday for them to do something).

Anyway, they rang to ask which finish I wanted on the Yoshi (went for the Carbon). I asked what sort of timeframe I'd be looking at, and they said...

... wait for it ...

3 weeks!!!!!

The bike is already stripped and being worked on, so I think they are just covering themselves in case parts don't arrive in time due to the Easter break. He said it'd hopefully be sooner - he'll ring as soon as it is done.

Bummer. I had a big group ride organised on April 3rd. Looks like I won't make it now.

Sorry man, I hate when that stuff happens. Its a bad feeling when you cant do anything about the situations you get into. Good luck brother.

Well maybe if we all pray hard enough for you they will be finished in time for your ride. Good Luck.

Oh man that sux.. I hate when people take their good ole time like that !! Sorry bro, but we'll keep good thoughts for everything to get wrapped up ASAP.

Hey, does your insurance company cover a vehicle while you're out awaiting repairs? Most American companies do, and that means -- you guessed it -- a rental motorcycle!

That does suck, but if you can get a rental bike, get a busa.

A rental bike sounds great!!

I hope you get her back before the ride though.

Thanks for the good feelings people. Normally I'd just ring the wife and whinge to her, but she is doing a motorcycle instructors course so I had nobody to immediately talk to.

This makes me feel better.

Oh, and no rental bike unfortunately Cyber. Good idea though.

Maybe Range will let you borry his bike. I am sure he kept the crate. Makes it that much easier to ship!

I feel your pain Fulcrum. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks for a stinkin' $15 fuel hose. I think they had to go back to Japan and bless the rubber in a temple before they sent it out.

Why don't you ask your wife nicely to borrow her bike. Or you ride her bike and she rides pasenger?
