Final decision on the Harley.

Dave · July 03, 2007, 11:20:10 AM

My bike is getting fixed :!: After telling me blue book was 15,500 and if we hit 70% of that for parts and labor they would total it now they told us its not near being totaled :?: Well they acted fast and after reserching a little more on the 07 models and predicting no real crazy changes for the 08's i guess id rather have it fixed.. Im kinda leary about the 6 speed in the 07-08 models as its a 1to1 drive and just mainly a highway like 80mph gear.. I dont need one

The shop doing the work told me to stop down and we would get together on how much they need to get started but im gonna call em back and tell em to figure it up and ill be down with a check. The insurance co is over nighting me a check and im not worried id just like to get parts on the way as soon as possible..

Well Debb they are telling me the hold up will be with the painted parts. Fairing,bags trunk etc. The other parts he says he will have in a couple weeks. The next hurdle is getting the money down to him to get stuff ordered. If i give him a personal check or even a cashiers check it takes time for them toi clear although i gotta believe he has enuff money around to cover most of the parts(remember this an independant shop) .
Any delay holds up the process so im gonna stop tomorrow evening and go from there. Im heading to angola right after work tonite with sue and my boys for the races and then toleedo friday so that only leaves tomorrow to get something going. Im sure it will work out ok.

You have a point, but it's only money for some of the parts not the entire bill.

Crosley.In.AZ · July 04, 2007, 06:07:35 PM

dave... you will get there.

I'd like to see you wear at least a jacket (besides the helmet) of some type to protect your upper body

Boots up above the ankle help protect the feet and ankle when sliding around on asphalt.

A buddy of mine wears HD boots with logos and the bottom of the boots tread says "Harley" on them ...... as he rides his Honda.

Dave · July 05, 2007, 06:53:34 PM

Got a cashiers check for 8k ill be dropping off tomorrow. The head man told me the painted parts (the longest delay have been ordered.) Cool.. The ony othe problem is ive got a * summertime cold i fell like s^&T. I was thinking the ins co tolm me id have a check over night and id get it today. Sent to me.. well im ahead of them but i wonder how it will be made out.. Noy a problem if its in mine and the shops name we will get it worked out.. I did tell george the head honcho about my pcII that i put in the bike and he said he will have my buddy tom the engine guy make it really run good. He said he doesnt even start with a canned map and in an hour and a half it will be done.. I like that
