    Ordered a '22 Road Glide Special in April, just received word from the legends at G.A in Brisbane that it's now built & VIN assigned. Now awaiting shipping. Exciting stuff.
    Anyone else ordered in the last few months and running on similar timelines?
    Cheers!

    I ordered a Lowrider S in May according to my dealer bike should be getting built about now and with the unreliable shipping the bike should arrive around October, so hopefully before Xmas lol

    I ordered my FLRT in early April and got it 3  weeks ago roughly, so far done less than a thousand ks

    Looking forward to first service so I can take it over 3 thousand revs.Even keeping it below 3,000 revs it still has plenty of giddy up

    cool it look's like the shipping has improved, I was a little concerned that the Chinese blockade of Taiwan might of effected shipping coming from Thailand

    A lot of container ships coming out of Bangkok to Aus East Coast tend to sail south and along the bottom of  Indo & PNG. Hopefully my bikes on one of those!

    Yep, prefer a nice day but ride in any weather, that’s what they’re made for! Hopefully the rain is just patchy and doesn’t hang about for days on end. Which route you taking south?

    Its not me riding it sadly.....a very good mate has found himself in a bit of a bind is headed home on it. I will fly down to Syd and ride it home in the next few weeks. He's going the boring way.....straight down the highway.

    Well there you go!.
    I thought you might have been riding down to Sydney to find a new NRL team to go for, seeing Broncs are no good and your new team the Storm are fast going downhill.
    Wests Tigers are still taking memberships and up is the only way they can go.
