COUNTDOWN: 3 Days!

Again with the countdown.  Letting myself get a little excited.

I called the service dept to check on the bike, and like always, rather than say 2 words, they took my name and xferred me to sales.  Then, talking to Eddy, I told him I wasn’t driving off without some kind of ECM fix (yes, rip me off for the $120 fuel map switch) but that I’d rather just pick up the parts they couldn’t get installed and that I’d do them myself.

Of course, I said all that after I’d confirmed that I’ll be able to drop by this saturday and ride home.  They open at 9:00.  Guess who will be there at 8:50 am?  My wife!  And me, I hope.

I’m probably going to invest in some wind protection – “rain guards” from Desert Dawgs and possibly “hippo hands” from Hippo Hands.   Both products seem like something I can make myself, and if they look ridiculous when mounted then it makes no difference if they look like hell or not, right?   So long as it doesn’t scratch the paint…

No progress yet on the EFI manager.  A tuner near the house, with a good reputation, wants to sell me a PC III for $350, then charge me $200 for the tuning.  I think I’ll ride the HD upgraded download for a bit.

3 days.  Kind of amazing.  It’s in the high 60’s today.  What I wouldn’t give for more of that …
