Howdy all! After approximately 3 test rides a summer for the last 3 years, I finally plunked down enough to walk away with a new '09 1200GS back in June. I knew from the first test ride back in '07 it was only a matter of time, but sometimes it's tough to pull the trigger with those big purchases on a teacher's salary! Art and the rest of the folks at Country Rode (Macedon, NY) were awesome for three years, though, as they waited for me. They knew it was just a matter of time as well.
I've been riding since somewhere in the 80's. Started on dirt, but migrated to cruisers at some point with a 2000 Indian Chief being the daily ride that the GS is replacing. I'm having a blast as I slowly discover all the new route possibilities.
Which brings me to my question.
Currently planning my first multi-day ride on the GS (~2400 miles through the NE US) and I am curious about the lag time in the delivery of the Anonymous Book. I've received all my membership info (even got a 5 year pin unlike that "other" guy... which I actually thought was quite weird), but no book yet. I assume it comes direct from a publisher/distributor, but I'd love to have it tucked away in the tank bag before I head out. Is the lag time normal?
