R&L Carriers did some major damage on my daughter UTV. Destroyed the pallet it was sitting on, busted one of the front tires, completely destroyed the KC lights, and ripped the canvas top. Luckily Don with APSCUSA sent out replacement parts so I wouldn't have to deal with a damage claim with the trucking company.

Hopefully good news
I talked to roadrunner today and they say they located the crate. They say its now loaded and ready to go on its next leg of trip soon. It’s Friday so they say it will probably leave Monday. So it looks like it will have sat in one spot for 15 days.
When i saw it sit for over 10 days i thought i should inquire and so they looked for it and found it. I don’t know if they would have looked if I didn’t call. I wonder if they wait for a truck to fill untol its moved. If so I would much rather hear the truth,” its going to be a while this is economy shipping and truck not full yet.” Either way it sounds unusual for it to sit for what looks like will be 15 days in one spot. I’m just glad they found it. Summer’s passing by... |

part of cheap shipping mabey wrong truck,yes mine got put on the wrong truck an spent the weekend in penn, an one of my crate poles was bent too within 2 inches of the exhaust pretty close couse it was like 6 inches when striaght .so make sure you check it,if you can pull the cardboard off an get a good look before you sign pop the 2 straps an the cardboard comes right off fast an can go right back on ,so dont let the driver tell you cant pull it off ,few more inches an mine would have got hit by a fork lift ,the poles dont bend too easyer either so it had to be a fork lift at some point but it was ok i, ups freight were not on the ball at all ,an the driver was the worst i ever seen ,so you should be fine,most are not like that guy ,enjoy your bike too

Those of us inside the trucking and shipping industry tend to call UPS Freight "OOPS" for a reason.

60 years ago we called it "Untied Parcel Service". Also for a reason. We got much better service from the "Railway Express Agency".

I hope it gets to you quickly, Gary. I also hope it's in perfect condition.

If you don’t mind, could you explain the registration process when the time comes? I too am in WV, and planning on buying a hawk.

I don't live in WVa, but maybe I can help a little. First, call the dealer to make sure he actually has the machine, and in the color you want. Then tell him you are going to pay by credit card, and you want him to give you the number on the tag on the steering head before he runs the cc through the process. Then be sure to tell him that the Certificate of Origin must state "Motorcycle". You can ask him how long it will take to get to you, but the answer will be the best case sceneario. In reality 10 days is more likely, unless you order it early on Monday or Tuesday....ARH

I meant the process with the dmv. I’m pretty familiar with the shady tactics of these dealers. Thanks though.

I was trying to set you up for a relatively painless interaction with dmv. Then you wait for the paperwork. You might have to call a couple of times. In most dealerships it is an overworked female who does the paperwork. In many states you have to have insurance before you can register it. In some states, the bike also has to be inspected before you can register it.When you get the MCO, go to the license office, or call them and they will tell you the routine...ARH

@rigidchop. I will let you know how registration goes. I got mine from Q9powersports. On their homepage there’s a link to registration and you fill out the form with the serial number on it and other information like make and model. Then in about 3 to 5 days they send out the certificate That I take to the DMV. I will let you know how that goes. I have read that some bikes you fill out the registration information and the certificate comes all the way from China. That is not the case I am told with this bike.
The only thing I found damage was that little peg that they rear brake spring goes to on the bottom of the frame was bent but that doesn’t seem to cause a problem. I can’t seem to figure out what this lock is on the steering/ignition key. if it’s supposed to lock the steering in place I can’t seem to get it to do that. ***nevermind. Figured it out steering has to be all the way to left or right to lock steering. I don’t want to get off topic so i think i will post another question about hauling the bike in another thread.

Update, no problem registering in West Virginia WV
Hi all, here is an update ridigchop asked for.
I received my certificate of origin from Q9 powersports and a bill of sale 5 days after I filled out the online form. I went to my insurance agent and got insurance on the bike with the vin number. I took the insurance paper, bill of sale and certificate of origin to the dmv and I was out the door in less than 30 minutes with a plate and temporary registration. It was actually a painless trip. Let me tell you how the certificate of origin was filled out: Chongqing Haosen Motorycle C., LTD (listed at top) VIN number - xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Year 2017 Make RPS Body Type: Motorcycle HP(S.A.E.) 15.5hp/239cc GVWR: 264 lbs Shipping Weight 303 lbs. No. Cyls.: 1 Series or Model: HS250Y-A HAWK Then distributor's name address and Ricky Power Sports LLC is listed below. I have heard others write do not put "Off-Road Motorcycle" in the Body Type. Just put "Motorcycle". Overall my process with Q9 power sports went well. [With the exception of the bike sitting for 2 weeks in one shipping place and a bent piece on the bottom of the bike (where the rear brake spring hooks on bottom of frame). That's all on the shipper.] I used layaway, they were easy to get a hold of, they filled out the certificate of origin in a way which allowed me to register it and sent it very quickly. I had no problems at the DMV in West Virginia/WV. |

I appreciate it! I’d heard that it was relatively painless in WV.
