We arrived in Chicago to pick up bike today. Massive crate that we required help from the guys in the warehouse to dismantle.

Little damage after it's long sea journey; a small hole in the one side of the saddle and some condensation in the instruments.

Then I realised that I had not brought the key! A call went out to the forum members for a complete lock and key set if anyone was close. Al came 50 miles to bring one, good guy! We still had to destroy the lock that stopped us putting fuel in.

Stopped overnight and fitted lock etc next day. We both spent over an hour, along with help from the warehouse mechanic, to find out why there was no electrics, before we realised that the kill switch on the handlebars was switched off!

Got it back to Muskegon for check over.
