Default What do you do when....

What do you guys do when your bike is in the shop getting built into a monster? I haven't had my Raptor since Tuesday(it was raining), and the minute I drop it off at the shop it's 55 degree's today, and supposed to be around 63 degree's or higher tomorrow. My bike is about two weeks away from being sent back and put back together.

So I know some of you have your Raptor's built, but what did you guys do to pass the time when you didn't have your Raptor to ride? I do have a Honda 300 Fourtrax 4X4 to cruise on, but it's no where near the same. I've broken down and was actually cleaning today while I was watching college basketball.

My weekday's are pretty busy, as I work night sift for 10 hours, so I usually sleep till noon, get up and chill till 4 and go to work. But what about Saturday and Sunday? There isn't even a Nascar race tomorrow.

I'm almost depressed.

Ken

At least you dont have to look at it. My grandpa is a mechanic so I use his heated garage along with all his tools to work on my bikes, so I had to look at the thing every day. Its so hard seeing it sitting there and knowing you cant ride it. I know what you mean about being depressed, when its not running I get a maximum of 5 hours of sleep a night.

I usually call the shop about 10 times a day. Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet? Is it done yet?

I was going to call the shop Thursday, but they called me and told me that the parts were already shipped and headed towards Craycraft. So I was happy.

The tear down and assembly is going to cost me $200 at the shop. So I'm getting a great deal considering he split the cases and everything. I wouldn't have even tried this shop, but my buddy's Bud Light 770 get's all it's work there. So I felt safe letting him work on it. Now I play the waiting game.

You make it sound like its the end of the world that you don't have your fourwheeler. Sounds like you might need some more hobbies to pass your time. Now you will have more down time to look forward to since you had all this work done.
