Finally got here, wish I had pics of this..Me 5'8 140#'s Drop ship Driver 5'8 170#, 42 foot long tractor trailer with NO LIFT, about 5 foot high drop.. He says to me "the invoice say's it's 200 hundred pounds but I think it's heavier than that" 326#s that I know of without shipping crate/steel...Mind you I live in a residential neighborhood in Florida and alot of the roads here are pitched(for rain purposes). So now I have a 42' tractor trailer that looks like it's going to tip over in front of my house and I gotta climb in it and help get my bike out, not a problem, I'm so excited I'd carry it on my shoulder if I had to... We push it to the end of the gate, get it to teeter on the end, both jump down let it down smooth as possible and use a hand truck to get it to the carport, DONE...Heres a pic in the carport, got it moved to the garage and am starting the Prep/loc-tite prosses, thanks for all your help guys!!! P.S. NO shipping damage at all...http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/lpsentertainment/Bike005.jpg (http://photobucket.com/)

Got it into the shop with the help of my Wonderful Girlfriend, bikes not that light, I guess just more awkward without wheels and handlebars not attached... I know the milk crate brings back some memorys for alot of y'all...http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j199/lpsentertainment/Bike006.jpg (http://photobucket.com/)

Nice bike. Check EVERYTHING. Ride safe and keep the rubber side down.

I like the covers for the inverted fork, my Roketa didn't come with them.

I got it off of E-bay but it came from T-motorsports, the add is usually at the top left side of this page, they also sell bikes on E-bay.. I ended up paying $1205, $860 for the bike, $345 For shipping to my door, I've seen them go for lower than that though.. It was worth every penny, and yes it does come with fork guards and hand guards, but you better be mechanically inclined or know about motorcycles as it comes with NO instructions whatsoever.. I'll post some pics soon...

Yeah one of the things I did was to make sure of the presence of all of the necessary documentation, but that is much easier to do when you pick the bike up.
