Just don't hold your breath mate. You don't want to pass out, hit your head and not be able to ride

Turns out Steve was right! (As were the others who suggested I not hold my breath!). Looks like I spoke too soon. Damn my impatience. About an hour after I put that last post up saying it was all en-route...I got a call from the dealer to advise that it hadn't come in AND that he was now expecting it Friday (today)... Not the dealers fault, he's at the mercy of the transport company which I understand. So I'm thinking I probably won't have the new beast until mid to end of next week Mac - thanks for the offer mate, will definitely try to make it to the next ride you guys plan (subject to me receiving the beast that is!). The waiting is killing me!! Cheers, Geoff. Nearly Tuesday Geoff any sign of the bike yet mate.

In my typically impatient fashion, I emailed HondaMPE to see what the approx. lead time is on new bikes (in stock) being shipped from their Melbourne warehouse and whether or not they issue the dealer with a tracking ID I suspect I shall be told politely to "b*gger off" or ignored completely But I thought it was worth a shot. Geoff. Tell them to bugger off then mate . You are quite within your rights to ask that of them. White bike instead of black ,ummm not far out on colour hey . Love the white pearl though Geoff . A member has one in Ipswich ,just loved it when i saw it. Sounds like you should have it before our ride onb the 8th so i hope you can join us on the day. Cheers Ray

I'd be telling them how this isn't good enough, blah blah blah and see what sort of freebies you can get out of them. Maybe a free service or two?

Better to wait another day,rather than have the pre-delivery rushed,it's really easy to miss something when a customer is breathing over your shoulder.

G,day Geoff, Have you upset the gods somehow....everything that could go wrong has for you. Although, sitting on the other side of the fence.....I deliver cars for a crust out of Bris up to north Qld,......somethings are just out of your control!! About six weeks ago my old girl broke down in Rocky, was able to haul the trailer up with another p/mover, but we couldn't get the car off the top of the broken one. It was a private vehicle and despite being supplied a rental, he wanted his car asap.....which one can well understand. Of course we're heading into the wet season soon....last season, I was in Atherton about 24 hrs before Yasi hit.....but that's another story!!! My stealer stuffed me around and to keep the peace, delivered my Rory free of charge to my home. It's not in my nature, but sometimes ya got to let off some steam to let 'em know you've had enough!! Hope you get your new best friend soon!!! Have you found a name yet?? Brian

Patience is the ability to keep your motorcycle idling.

Brian - I hear you mate, but the wait is definitely worth it And besides, the other is whinging at me to stop complaining to her...so I have to seek refuge in the forum! haha. Just got a call from the dealer saying that the keys have arrived but can I hold off picking her up until 5 because they need to chamois it down. I said "You mean to say she was out in the cold pouring rain?!". Anyhoo, looks like I'll be collecting this afternoon after all that! As for a name - well I have a thing for Scarlett Johansson - so quite possibly the name will be Scarlett. I guess it'll come to me after I've ridden her for a bit Geoff. IT,S GONE 5 WHERE IS THE BIKE GEOFF.!!!!!!! Lucky bugger would be still out riding it if he had any sense.
