Well it's a New Year and still waiting. Damn it's hard to wait, even though it's cold outside. They say it will be the middle of January now. Oh well.

The kit is here, the bike is at the trike dealer and has been taken down and now waits the paint. Kit construction and shipping has been slow due to the weather on the east coast. The assembly of the kit with newly painted body should start next week. Looking forward to have it before the end of January! Waiting is such a bear, but getting it built right is most important to me.........so I wait! Yes, pictures will be posted if I stop riding it long enough after I pick it up! Then you guys and gals won't have to look at my face when I post!
