You are correct. I had to sign for all three bikes and for the KPX Venom had to authorize for me to pick up.

Glad it all worked out. But definitely an object lesson in being home when valuable stuff is delivered. Sure is lucky you were sick today. Why would any delivery driver in his right mind think a sig was not required for something that expensive? Majorly dumb delivery company/driver.

Well I started running a fever no long after I got the bike in the yard. It was weird came on all of a sudden. I mean i was a little sore today but figured it was from working my arse off last night. Anyway fever came on and wife being a nurse whipped out a Rapid test. Sure as the day is long, Positive for the damn Rona. Went to CVS for that other one but wont hear back for a day or so. Long story short, be careful what you wish fer, ya might just get it. So my bike is still out there in the crate I feel like a bag of smash buttholes. But good news is, Work said you gotta be outta here for 5 days. :( But if I can kick this fever I have time to play with the bike. So weird how things work out.

So you won't be faking being sick. lol I sure hope you go through the rona better than I did. That was a rough stretch for me. I guess you will have to bring the bike in the living room so you can stay cool and not get over heated. Right about now I can here the wife. "YOU WANT TO DO WHAT?"

It wouldn't be the first time the wife has came home and there was a bike in the living room. Shoot when we met she had to civilize me . My TV sat on a milk crate I had only a thrift store couch. My Coffee table was a freshly machined small block chevy 400 with a piece of plywood on top. I had a vast array of paper, foam, and plastic ware, and Dixie cups were by glasses.

The fact that she stayed with you with your coffee table setup shows she's a keeper.

Trade the plywood for a panel of tempered glass and that would become a classy coffee table.

Looks just like mine before i unboxed it. Nice Box.

Alright Gentlemen. I still feel like absolute garbarge. But I couldn't stand it any longer, so I put my big boy pants on and went out and mostly assembled her. I still have to install the battery, and Mirrors, change the oil ( I will not start it until I change it, thats just me). And go over the rest of the nuts and bolts. Chain slack is right on the money believe it or not. With all that said, All I can say is DAYUM, this is probably the nicest chinese dual sport I've ever seen. The quality is there, and I really like the way is has a proper LINKED rear suspension setup, not just the shock bolted right to the top of the swing arm. Like I said I haven't started it, I'll that done maybe tomorrow, I just completely ran out of gas. It was shear will power to get this far.

Congrats!

Would I lie to you about the quality of this bike? Lol I've said it before, it compares to the quality of my Vulcan S. To install the battery you will need to remove the seat. To remove the seat you have to remove the rack first then take out the two front bolts that held the rack. After that it's easy to access the screws to remove the battery panel.
