I was just wondering what can happen to my beer from an extended time of sitting on the yeast in the primary fermenter.

My bock extract kit has been in primary going on 2 months now. I haven't had the time to bottle it. can anything bad come from this?

Gonna try a stab at it and say, not in two months.
 
2 months is nothing to worry about... 6+ months, maybe...
If you have any doubts about how it's turning out, taste it before you bottle... Whenever you get to it (I would try to do it before 4+ months have past from when you pitched the yeast)...
If anything, you'll have even better brew to enjoy. :rockin:
 
Especially considering the fact that it's a Bock beer, you've probably done your beer a favor.
