Vehicles are booked in ONLY once all the following criteria have been made:

Deposit Paid (if applicable).
Balance Paid (finance or personally).
PDI complete and the inspectors are happy.
Successful Road Test has been carried out.

The motorcycle courier will contact you directly regarding your delivery, they are not part of our company so we cannot give you further information than you obtain from them.
