Bikes finally in the country

Well my FJR's finally in the country, now I just gotta get my hands on it. Thought I would probably get it tomorrow but the freight company tells me today that MAF want to inspect it so it looks like Friday at the earliest and maybe Monday, god i hope not.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE INVOLVED IN THE INSPECTION!!! Be there to make sure they get the correct VIN# for it. Otherwise you will have heaps of trouble later on when it coes to getting it registerd.

Eitherway, when you get it Im sure its going to bring a big grin to your face.

Wot Waylander said! Try to be there if at all possible!
He/she will go over the bike with a flashlight, shining it everywhere - if he picks up stuff under your mudguards, tell him it's UK roadsalt; otherwise they'll charge you for a 'steam clean'.
When you get it VIN'd, stick to your guns about the "brake test". Only bikes manufactured AFTER 02/03 need the test, weird as it seems. (It's all on the LTSA site). Also, make sure the new 'serial number plate' doesn't get riveted on somewhere ugly & in plain view, like they did to me...muppets.
Good luck with it all....!

Make sure you go over it with a fine tooth comb for signs of damage it might have picked up during transit/storage. Don't leave the yard without getting acknowledgement if there is damage. Take a digital camera as well just in case. You can't be too carefull with these companies. Good luck with it all. Won't be long before you have it cleared, registered and on the road.
