Two hours after the R+L provided delivery time window, we have a delivery!
The biggest initial damage was the wooden pallet itself!
Whoever built it just butted up two small pieces of wood
instead of a single piece and decided to nail it together
thinking it would be structural!

The metal frame itself was in excellent condition. There
was a single bent frame diagonal brace in the front where
after removing the black plastic wrap the cardboard was
pressed in as something gave it a good bash in the front.
I quickly moved the electrical harness and light aside and
noticed the forks are already pre-installed for packing in
the shipping box. The right hand side one has a tiny bit of metal
showing where something rubbed during the bash but nothing
looked dented or serious.

The right hand side of the bike looks really nice. No initial damage
found in a fast cursory inspection in the failing light.

The left side initially looked good. But the light had
failed by this point and the garage light wasn't good.
It took me a while but I finally noticed the left plastic
under the seat had a big chunk taken out of it.
If this and the small scuff on the right front fork is all
the damage there is then I am very happy with the
state the bike arrived in! -- I was so worried not knowing
if I would win the freight lottery
