    Default In-laws

    So my sister and brother in-law have been here since Friday. Three glorious riding days and the Spyder has just been sitting in the driveway with the cover on. It would be total and absolute marriage suicide to even uncover it so there it sits. Can anyone feel my pain?

    In those 3 days, haven't you had the need to go to the store for anything? Be creative.

    The only pain I feel is that you are married.

    What's the difference between In-Laws, and Outlaws?

    Default Oh yeah..!!

    But not for long...We always run out of stuff and it is so easy, and quicker, to run out and pick that up. You know about the long road well there it is and for me the only way home. Lots of traffic, accidents, delays.. then theres before they get up and after they turn in.

    That is painful, especially with the short riding season I suspect you have in Maine. Got to get to Maine one day, only contiguous state I haven't been it yet.

    Default I certainly feel your pain!

    My ST has been sitting at the dealer since July 3rd after my deer incident. Insurance company rather quickly approved the repairs but neglected to tell the dealer so NO PARTS have yet been ordered. I will be making a phone call rather early on Monday morning.

    Everytime I hear or see a bike go by the house I go nuts.
