Finally it looks like I might have caught a break. Hope I don't jinx myself speaking too soon here. After dealing with FedEx, and having the driver swear that he knows where I live, and leaving it right on my front porch, they told me to contact Jeff at Z1 and have him file a claim. So Mark at Z1 calls FedEx, and they say " Wait a minute, that package got routed to Arizona"? Turns out they misrouted it, and it is supposed to arrive here on Thursday!! :woohoo:

Now what I want to know is how the hell the driver could swear to leaving it on the porch, when it was routed to Arizona via El Paso?? :huh: I think he might have some explaining to do to somebody?

I'm just jacked that it looks like a win after all this. I have to say that throughout, Jeff and his staff were as gracious and helpful as they could be! Great staff :)

Now I'm just jonesing to get started...

You know it's funny, I live in a small town, and had it been UPS, I'm friends with the driver Danny. If it had been shipped through him, he would have a: Just put it in my garage, b: tracked me down at work c: called my cell phone to tell me my bike parts were in and where do I want it left, or d: all of the above. :laugh: Gotta love small towns!

Unfortunately, we're so small that FedEx uses private contractors to handle the final delivery leg. Never know who is gonna be delivering your stuff anymore.

It's funny you say that I live outside a really smalltown in rural area and a private Fedex van pulls in few months back and I was actually home the guy gets out to bring my box up and it's Henry a guy I worked with for several years (several years ago) we shot the bull for a while and caught up on old times. He of course thought this was my address but wasnt sure.

he does put my stuff in my yard barn as I dont have a garage.

Terry Lee LIVES!!! Spent the last few days working some long hours on her to get her buttoned up. Still not riding weather quite yet but couldn't help taking her out for a quick spin. Got some finish tuning to do yet, but I am pretty pleased. Thanks to all of you for your support and advice throughout the build. Couldn't have done it without you.
