The dealer certifies that the systems are operable and meet State standards. Then I could title it for the street. In other words, everything including the electrical has been checked once by my mechanic and also by a certified dealer (Seattle Cycle). This bike starts like it should, rides like it should and looks like it should. Does not leak a drop of oil on my garage floor. Has Washington collector plate - never needs tabs again. I can deliver at no charge this RT2 to a Seattle area shipping location to help the buyer as necessary. |
