How to pass the time until I can get my bike???

[dgrtech]

I put the deposit on my bike back on Sunday... I got a call today that my bike will be in tomorrow!! Unfortunately, I leave out of town tomorrow morning until Sunday and I can't get a ride to the dealer 100 miles away until around NEXT wd or thurs.

What can I do to pass the boredom/insanity of waiting? I've been pretty much looking at pictures and videos nonstop the past couple days... the wait is killing me!!

edit- got the bike post #17

To pass time when you can't ride a motorcycle?

Drinking works for me.

Just grab a road map. Figure out all the roads, however remote, you are going to take it (her) to. Do some planning . But be daring. Turn that -legitimate- anticipation of yours into a PROJECT, as opposed to something that's... killing you. You wanna go for roads with curves with lots of down and up-shifting. You wanna avoid the fallacy of highway break-in mileage. You wanna gradually build INTIMACY with the bike.

if you have a dirt bike or atv, ride the **** out of it

Gosh, I don't know what you could do to pass the time for an excruciating whole week. I managed to deal with a 5 month wait after putting down my deposit. I'm not sure what I would have done if I had to wait a week. I somehow think you'll manage just fine.

WELCOME TO THIS FORUM GANJORA,

PS. A couple of extra pints and you'd be owning a Rocket III

Hi Jamie.

Well, you got me worried now, I'll have to be more careful with my drinking.

Actually, if money was no object, I'd have a Rocket III, rigged to pull a trailer,
and have a light weight sailing dinghy on the trailer.

Is it true that with one of those _big_ triples, when you give it a few revs then dump the clutch, it doesn't really accelerate, but the world's rate of spin changes?

I have to wait until Octocber for my black Street3. (And that is "maybe", my dealer said) Then to ship to Vietnam will takes another month. But I know: My dream bike is coming...
