Issues:

* Bike wouldn't start initially without moving the throttle a very small amount,
adjusted idle screw to no avail, adjusted throttle cable near throttle, starts easier now
* Choke cable was broken - see image
* Seat does not bear Lifan name - see image

Issue Status:

* Bike doesn't always start easily, but it appears to do better each time
* Waiting for new choke cable (not really needed yet)
* Still discussing seat issue

* Waiting for Paperwork (anxiously

)

Comments received:

* Wow, it looks better in person than it did in the pictures.

My Status:

* So far I am very happy, haven't been able to test it out too much, since there is no good place to ride until I am able to get tags. Can't wait to put some more miles on it (or is that kilometers

)
