I got the call from Steve at M&S Cycle that the bikes are in the country (which I knew) but it will be shipped off to the dealer Monday or Tuesday of next week!  The C5 is soooooo close!

Keep your fingers crossed, toss a pinch of salt over your shoulder and sprinkle a little beer on the garage floor where the bike will sit - and hope that the fine fellows in Customs see it all our way. There was SOME sort of flap brewing over the WOODEN crates - they are inspected by the Department of Agriculture. What in the Wide, Wide World of Sports they have to do with the importation of motor vehicles into the country, I cannot understand .... ( actually I DO understand that they are looking for foreign "bugs" that can live in the wood - but it still drives me NUTS when the new bikes are close enough to smell!!) I just hope that I get to see one sooner or later ..... sigh ..... :'(

Fingers are crossed, salt is sprinkled and beer is poured. Are they still hung up in customs?

I heard the first shipment won't spread very far, but a second is soon behind. The wife hopes her teal machine be on the second.

As I have mentioned before on the forum recently the C-5's are in and are in the process of being shipped to dealers.
