The Titan arrives.

The Titan’s seller, Valentino, offered to deliver the bike to my front door. Bloody nice of him you if you think of all the travel implied. Ticino is the italian-speaking part of switzerland (south close to Milano and Italy) and I’m living close to Geneva, in the french-speaking region.

Of course, it was pissing down the day he came, what I didn’t expect was to see that:

A Smart… I wondered where the trailer was… until he told me the bike was INSIDE! 88|
You will see, it is possible to fit a T500 inside a Smart, although it is not as easy as it seems.

Of course it was dissambled a bit…

Here it is, Valentino had to remove a seat to fit the whole thing inside.

We had to hook up a sling to tow outside the car and then we just reassembled it, kickstart 2 times and it runs.

These are the details I really like… somebody forgot to “wipe off face after break-in”.

All in all, good was had by everybody. I suspect there is still a bit of work to be done, but according to valentino, the motor was real clean inside, a host of seals changed and he also left me a parcel of new parts.
