After getting the call that my new wheels had arrived for my Harley-Davidson 2005 Softail Night Train, I made arrangements to have them installed. I dropped the bike off at Chandler Harley-Davidson on March 6. It was two wheels so I just assumed that the bike would be done either that day or the morning thereafter. Now what was that saying about never “assume” anything? Yeah, I seemed to have forgotten that. Maybe I was being unrealistic. Maybe I am being impatient. Maybe I just have no clue how long it actually takes to install a couple of wheels. No matter what the reason, it wasn’t done. Instead I got a call this morning saying that the bike was ready to be picked up. All that was left to do was have it washed.

Driving traffic to a blog whether it be a commercial endeavor or a personal web log such as this can be a full time job. I know some authors are obsessed with the ranking of their blog and the size of their readership. Personally I don’t write to a blog to develop a readership. This is most often just a cheaper alternative to going to therapy. That being said, I am not opposed to people reading my entries. In fact I welcome anyone to read and comment wherever they think appropriate. To help assist me in managing this blog, I have included this site in my Technorati Profile along with my other blogs Diary of a Diehard and 1 Photo 2 Share. I’ve found Technorati to be beneficial and it helps me to maintain what little sanity that I have left.

Oh how time flies when you are having fun! I had ordered a new set of wheels five days ago with the assumption that it could take up to two weeks for the wheels to arrive. Today when I got home from work there was a message on my answering machine from Chandler Harley-Davidson saying that my wheels had arrived. Even before the message finished playing I had grabbed the keys and headed for the door. I wanted to get down to the dealership to check out the wheels and schedule an appointment to have them installed.

“With this modification now complete I think my work for 2008 is done.” I wrote these words just two short weeks ago and already I am contradicting myself. I did truly believe that once I put the new forks on my bike that I would be done for the year. After all, the things left on my list were pretty high-dollar changes and I didn’t expect I would be dealing with them. Instead, a series of events occurred that have allowed me to change my mind and do one last set of changes to my Night Train.
