Yes.   *smile*
They have to give it an MOT and a full service before they deliver it. 
It should be low enough for me to reach the ground better than a BSA.

Can't get a lot lower than a plunger twin. I know which one I would rather have! No offence...

I fancied one of those about 20 years ago but kind of lost interest when I discovered the range of engines sizes  250 up to 1100 - just too many choices, why that should put me off I have no idea but it did
All the best - Bill
1961 Flash - stock, reliable, steady, fantastic for shopping
1959 Rocket Gold Flash - blinged and tarted up  would have seizure if taken to  Tesco
