The paperwork is signed!
Also, the "un-customization" work has begun — and WOW what a difference it makes.
The first task is swapping out that straight bar for something more classic and curved. I got
a chance to see it and sit on the bike and it changes the feel of the machine completely. The
softail now has a more classic feel, with a lower riser (yes, we had to swap out the riser)
and bars that come to you. Brake cables will also be replaced in the process.
Insurance is sorted out as well — once the dealership has the insurance data, they'll
send everything off for the loan underwriter.
In the accountrements department, we're nearly completely sorted: Laurel now has
all of her kit, and I'm one helmet away from being done... then there's the not-so-essential
stuff — I was naughty and bought (was willingly talked into) a leather vest, and patches for
the national and local HOG chapter. The dealership also hooked me up with a HOG member who could
sew the patches onto the leather for me.
Everything seems to be coming together rather neatly, allowing us to ride our new bike
home once class is over.
